- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 1999158
- Manufacturer's number: 835
- Reported: 1999\-08\-27
- Component: Suspension
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 8630

## What is wrong

On certain pickup trucks equipped with a diesel or V\-10 engine, the front suspension spring/shock towers may crack and eventually separate from the vehicle frame.  If the left side tower cracking goes undetected by the operator and separates from the frame, the shock tower may damage the rear wheel brake lines.  If this happens, this may result in reduced system pressure creating the potential for increased stopping distances.  Correction:  Spring/shock towers will be inspected and vehicles exhibiting cracking will have the towers replaced with a tower that incorporates reinforcement.  Vehicles that do not exhibit cracking will have a weld on reinforcement added.
