Plain-English summary

SAF-Holland is recalling certain ULX40 suspensions equipped with P89 mechanical axle assemblies and Haldex ModulT Gen II Air Disc Brakes. The defect involves a retaining clip in the brake pad retaining assembly that may come loose or detach, which can loosen the brake pad.

A detached retaining clip or bracket can damage the brake pad, reducing brake performance. It may also damage a tire valve, causing a flat tire, or become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and repair the spring bracket assembly as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 9, 2022. Owners may contact SAF-Holland customer service at 1-231-777-4302 or 1-231-777-4369, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
