Bus & CoachOn certain models of NCV3 (5-ton) vehicles fitted with air suspension from VB AirSuspension, there is a high risk of a fracturing of the weld seam on the rear axle spring saddle. In the event that this occurs, the rear axle can become loose and take on a self-steering behaviour, which could affect vehicle control or stability. Recall all affected vehicles to fit an additional spring saddle clamp to provide additional security. Vehicle ID: WDB9061532N514770 to WDB9066572S587116
