Caterpillar caterpillar Inc.
The short version
Caterpillar Inc. reported a problem with the linkages tie rod assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
Caterpillar Inc. (Caterpillar) is recalling all 2016 Navistar CT660S trucks equipped with certain Spicer D or E series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.
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.
Caterpillar will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the castellated nut and tie rod, replacing them as necessary, free of charge.
