Problem Crane Carrier Company (Crane Carrier) is recalling certain 2015-2016 LET2 vehicles, equipped with certain Dana Spicer D-Series and E-Series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen. Risk If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Crane Carrier will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, and tighten them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 27, 2017. Owners may contact Crane Carrier customer service at 1-918-286-2300. Crane Carrier's number for this recall is 17E041.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 17E041 is the number Crane assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 17V525000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
