  Issue: On certain trucks, the lift axle pivot bolts may be too short and may not be properly tightened. As a result, the bolts could come loose or break. If this happens, parts could fall from the truck. Note: This recall only affects trucks built with Watson Chalin SL2065 lift axles. Safety Risk: Large fasteners that fall on the road could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash.

• Visual System#2019207April 26, 2019

  431 units affected

  Issue: On certain trucks, the upper glass on the side mirrors may not be properly attached.

Safety Risk: Missing or blocked mirrors will reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. If the mirror glass falls from the vehicle, it could strike another vehicle or pedestrian. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their truck to a dealer to inspect the build date of upper mirror glass assembly. The mirror glass will be replaced as necessary.
