DextereBay 8k Axles

 

KeystoneeBay is conducting a voluntary RECALL notification campaign in accordance with the National Highway Transportation and Safety Act. It has been decided that vehicles in the recall population have a DextereBay axle using a spring pack with U-bolts that may not be properly torqued. Under certain conditions during travel, if the improperly torqued U-bolts come loose there is an increased risk of the axle sliding back on the springs, which could result in poor vehicle handling and/or vehicle crash.
