**Campaign:** 18E-096

## 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.
