The issue
On certain trucks, the Rockwell "FF" series front axle beam assemblies may contain cracks at the axle beam forged ends where the steering knuckles are attached by the king pins. These cracks may lead to a failure of the axle beam end under normal operating conditions and could cause a complete separation of the wheels, tires, brake assemblies and steering knuckles from the vehicle, leading to a loss of vehicle control and possible crash.
