The hazard
On certain vehicles, the axle housing wall thickness at the journal radius, adjacent to the spindle friction weld joint, may not be sufficient to ensure a fatigue life equivalent to the expected mileage life of the involved vehicles. Housing failure through this section can result in the dual wheel assembly disengaging from the vehicle, resulting in a hazard to other traffic.
