The problem

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH DANA IFS SUSPENSIONS. ONE OF THE FOUR STUDS USED TO ATTACH THE SPINDLE TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION WISHBONES HAS BROKEN.

The risk

IF TWO STUDS BREAK, THE SPINDLE IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE A-FRAME AND THE SUSPENSION COULD THEN COLLAPSE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

What to do

DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL STUDS AND NUTS, USING LONGER STUDS.
