    Power Train / Axle Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain pinion gears, p/nos. 129737 and 127420, manufactured on december 4, 2007, and assembled into the axle assembly of tandem-rear or single drive axles installed as original equipment for certain international, paccar, and volvo heavy trucks, wrong induction hardness process settings were used resulting in excessive hardness of the pinion gears.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    Power Train / Axle Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Certain dana drive axle housings manufactured between november 2006 and february 6, 2007, model numbers listed above, installed as original equipment on certain heavy duty trucks. Mis-marked steel was used during production. The steel coil was marked as 7/16" (11 mm), when it was in fact 3/8" (9mm). Over time, the out of specification steel could result in a fatigue failure of the axle housing, most likely at the brake flange. If unattended, the axle may lock up or the end of the axle could come off.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If this occurred, the vehicle could have a partial failure of the brake system, an inoperable axle with possible locking of the wheel, or the wheel off condition. These axles failures could result in a decrease in vehicle control or braking and a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    The vehicle manufacturers will notify owners and will replace any housings which, upon inspection, are determined to be under specification free of charge. Owners should contact their vehicle manufacturer for further information or owners can contact dana at 419-535-4500.
