The hazard
Certain CT800, CT8000, CT900, LNT880, LT800, LT8000, LT880, LT900, LTN800, LTN8000, LTN900, LTN9000, LTS800, LTS8000, LTS900 and WT9000 vehicles were equipped with rockwell slhd tandem rear axles that may experience housing fracture due to inadequate wall thickness just inboard of the wheel spindle-to- housing frinction weld. Complete fracture of the housing can result in separation of the wheel spindle from the axle housing. Should this occur, the dual rear wheels and tires mounted on the spindle would detach and roll free from the vehicle endangering persons who may be nearby. Although ford canada is not aware of any reports of related field problems, it has been determined by laboratory testing
