ON CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES, THE CAST CLAMP PORTION OF THE TORQUE ROD COULD CRACK UNDER INITIAL TORQUEING OF THE CLAMP FASTENERS RESULTING IN BREAKAGE OR CRACKS. CASTING POROSITY AND INCORRECT HEAT TREATMENT CAUSED POTENTIAL WEAKNESS IN THE CAST CLAMP PORTION OF THE TORQUE ROD. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
