The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (steering linkage) that may result in a loss of steering and increase the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Streetcar ORV LLC is recalling certain American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) 3" Dualsport aftermarket suspension kits, part numbers N0436000 and N0436001. These kits were sold for installation on 2013-2018 RAM 2500 and 3500HD trucks. The recall affects 847 units.
The recall is due to improper installation and machining of the original equipment steering knuckle, which may weaken the joint between the steering drag link and knuckle. This weakened connection may result in a fractured steering drag link, causing a loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
Streetcar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install a new steering knuckle free of charge. The recall began on December 3, 2018. Owners may contact AEV customer service at 1-248-926-0256, extension 500, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
