On certain Ranger 4x2 pickup trucks, the front spindle may have been manufactured without proper heat treating. As a result the spindle may, over time, fatigue to fracture without warning, which could allow the front spindle and wheel to separate from the vehicle. A wheel separation may result in a loss of control which could lead to a crash, causing property damage, personal injury, or death. Correction: Dealers will verify the front spindle manufacturing date and, if necessary, replace the spindle assembly. Additional information may be available on Transport Canada's website |
