Dana Incorporated is recalling 11 Spicer Ultimate Dana 60 Bracketless Crate Axles sold for use in Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The design of the axle suspension bracket may block necessary oil from reaching the pinion tail bearings, leading to a lack of lubrication. Dana will replace these affected axles with a corrected version free of charge. Owner notification letters were previously mailed in June 2023, but owners should contact Dana customer service immediately to arrange for the replacement.
Without proper lubrication, the pinion tail bearing can seize while the vehicle is in motion. This causes the axle to stop rotating, which can result in a sudden loss of vehicle control and increases the risk of a crash.
Free axle replacement
