Rigs named in this campaign
NHTSA named these model years. A model year on this list is not proof your VIN is included.
The problem
Streetcar ORV LLC (Streetcar) is recalling certain American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) 3" Dualsport aftermarket suspension kits, part numbers N0436000 and N0436001, sold for installation on 2013-2018 RAM 2500 and 3500HD trucks. Improper installation and machining of the original equipment steering knuckle may weaken the joint between the steering drag link and knuckle.
The safety risk
The weakened connection may result in a fractured steering drag link, causing a loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Streetcar will notify owners and dealers will inspect and install a new steering knuckle, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2018. Owners may contact AEV customer service at 1-248-926-0256, extension 500.
Dates
NHTSA received the report on October 16, 2018.
