## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  AIRPORT SUPPORT, SNOW REMOVAL, CONCRETE CARRIER, AND MILITARY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DRAG LINK ASSEMBLIES CONTAINING 24\-DL MODEL BALL SOCKETS AND MANUFACTURED BY TRW.

## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE DRAG LINKS.  OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY/AUGUST 2001.  OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT OSHKOSH AT 1\-920\-235\-9151 TRW CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1\-866\-280\-3287.
