The issue
On certain trucks, rear drive axles may have an incomplete weld between the axle housing and the suspension hanger brackets. After extended service, the partial weld may fail and could result in separation of the suspension bracket and the axle housing. Separation may allow the rear axle to move out of position and cause vehicle instability, loss of vehicle control,and the potential for vehicle crash. Axles will be inspected and repaired if necessary.
