Corrective Procedure
Tie Rod Inspection and Mileage Check
1. Check the base label (Form WAR259) for a completion sticker for FL888 (Form WAR260) indicating this work has been completed. For trucks, the base label is usually located on the passenger door about 12 inches (30 cm) below the door latch; for school buses, it is usually located above the driverโs window; and for shuttle buses and step vans, it is usually located in the driverโs area. If a sticker is present for FL888, no work is required. If there is no sticker present, proceed with the next step.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the tires.
3. Is the vehicle mileage less than 5000 miles?
YES โ Go to โClamp – Locknut & Bolt Replacement.โ
NO โ Go to โTie Rod Assembly Replacement.โ
Clamp โ Locknut & Bolt Replacement
1. Remove the bumper. For instructions, refer to Group 31 of the applicable workshop manual.
2. Remove and discard the tie rod clamp locknuts and bolts on both ends of the tie rod assembly.
3. Install New Locknuts and Bolts.
a. Install new bolts into each tie rod cross-tube clamp. Lock-nut should face rear of vehicle. 10
Fig. 4, bolt and locknut orientation
Left picture is left front of axle looking forward standing behind the axle.
Right picture is right front of the axle standing slightly behind the axle and looking up from underneath the axle.
b. Ensure clamp locating rib remains centered over the tie rod cross-tube detents. See Fig 5. Failure to engage the clamp centering rib with tie rod cross-tube may result in a loose tie rod end despite reaching appropriate torque on the locknut/bolt assembly.
c. Threaded tie rod end should also extend into the tube beyond the cut/slot and clamp positioned like below. See Fig 6.
d. Using a torque wrench on the nut and box wrench on the bolt, tighten the lock-nuts on both ends of the tie rod assembly. Tighten the lock-nut to 109 Nยทm (80 lbยทft).
4. Perform a full truck alignment. For instructions, refer to Group 33 of the applicable workshop manual.
5. Is the front wheel toe-in aligned per specifications? YES โ Go to the next step. NO โ Go to โTie Rod Assembly Replacement.โ
6. Install the bumper. For instructions, refer to Group 31 of the applicable workshop manual.
7. See Completion Stickers for final step to certify work.
Tie Rod Assembly Replacement
1. If not already removed, remove the bumper. For instructions, refer to Group 31 of the applicable workshop manual.
2. Remove the cotter pin from the tie rod end at both sides of the vehicle.
3. Remove the tie rod end castle nut at both sides of the vehicle.
4. Using a Tiger Tool tie rod end remover, or a similar, remove the tie rod end from the tie rod arm at the driverโs side of the vehicle.
5. Using a Tiger Tool tie rod end remover, or a similar, remove the tie rod end from the tie rod arm at the passenger side of the vehicle.
6. Remove the old tie rod assembly from under the vehicle.

10. Tighten the castle nuts 163 to 230 Nยทm (120 to 170 lbยทft). If the cotter pin hole in the tie rod end stud is not aligned with any of the castle nut slots, further turn the castle nut a maximum of one-sixth of a turn to align it.
11. Install a new cotter pin in the tie rod end stud and castle nut. Ensure the tangs are bent properly.
12. Perform a full truck alignment. For instructions, refer to Group 33 of the applicable workshop manual.
13. Install the bumper. For instructions, refer to Group 31 of the applicable workshop manual.

Chronology :
Late December, 2020, despite a lack of warranty claims and any other indications of failures on customer vehicles, DTNAโs axle assembly plant in Mexico reported a tie rod clamp nut quality concern and promptly began a containment effort.
January, 2021, DTNA discussed with the tie rod supplier the concerns, and the supplier established what it believed to be a โcleanโ date for tie rods assembled with properly crimped clamp nuts. No information suggested that the problem extended further, and all indications were that no defective parts escaped the production plant.
February 2021, DTNAโs axle assembly plant in Detroit reported finding similarly suspect parts and promptly began containment.
March 2021, DTNA resumed discussions with the supplier on this issue to understand scope of issue.
Early May 2021, DTNA received DFMEA from the supplier suggesting a potential safety concern.
May 2021, even though DTNA is not aware of any field failures related to this concern nor has any information to suggest the existence of a defect with an unreasonable risk to the safety of any vehicles in the field, DTNA decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.
October 2021, due to parts availability, the recall release has been delayed and is expected to launch in mid-December 2021.
August 23, 2021 WIRC reviewed the information and elevated it to CPAC.
Daimler notified Jayco
of recall 21V-369. On September 1, 2021 CPAC reviewed the information and elevated this to SSC pending the receipt of affected units from Daimler. On January 27, 2022, SSC voted to proceed with filing a chassis pass through recall.

Daimler Trucks
North America LLC, on behalf of its DETROITTM Powertrain Division, has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists on certain DETROITTM Model 2, 3 and 5 steer axles manufactured between Dec 15, 2020 through Apr 14, 2021. DTNA is initiating Recall Campaign D21R7 to replace the tie rod assemblies. The tie rod clamp may be loose due to the supplied lock nuts being over-crimped. This can cause thread galling of the bolt and nut during installation. When galling occurs, it is possible that assembly torque may be achieved but the clamp is still loose. The tie rod clamp being loose could lead to the threaded tie rod ends becoming loose and eventual steering loss if the rod end pulls out of the tie rod, or the tube is broken due to vibration of the loose joint, creating the risk of crash. Records indicate that your vehicle has one of the affected steering axles. Please contact an Authorized DTNA Repair Facility and arrange to have the recall campaign performed.

S.A. de C.V. Address : Av. Huehuetoca S/N San Mateo Foreign States 54713 Country : Mexico Chronology : Late December, 2020, despite a lack of warranty claims and any other indications of failures on customer vehicles, DTNAโs axle assembly plant in Mexico reported a tie rod clamp nut quality concern and promptly began a containment effort. January, 2021, DTNA discussed with the tie rod supplier the concerns, and the supplier established what it believed to be a โcleanโ date for tie rods assembled with properly crimped clamp nuts. No information suggested that the problem extended further, and all indications were that no defective parts escaped the production plant. February 2021, DTNAโs axle assembly plant in Detroit reported finding similarly suspect parts and promptly began containment. March 2021, DTNA resumed discussions with the supplier on this issue to understand scope of issue. Early May 2021, DTNA received DFMEA from the supplier suggesting a potential safety concern. May 2021, even though DTNA is not aware of any field failures related to this concern nor has any information to suggest the existence of a defect with an unreasonable risk to the safety of any vehicles in the field, DTNA decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall. October 2021, due to parts availability, the recall release has been delayed and is expected to launch in mid- December 2021. August 23, 2021 WIRC reviewed the information and elevated it to CPAC. Daimler notified Jayco
of recall 21V-369. On September 1, 2021 CPAC reviewed the information and elevated this to SSC pending the receipt of affected units from Daimler. On January 27, 2022, SSC voted to proceed with filing a chassis pass through recall.

Repairs made prior to the recall will be reimbursed in accordance with our Recall Reimbursement Plan on file with NHTSA. Daimler Trucks
