Capacity of Texas is recalling 865 of its 2023 TJ Series terminal tractors, specifically models 5000, 6500, and 9000. These vehicles may have been built with steering gear assemblies that are missing internal recirculating balls required for proper operation. To address this safety risk, dealers will inspect the steering gears and replace any defective units free of charge.
The steering gear may have been assembled incorrectly with fewer recirculating balls than required, which can lead to a sudden and complete loss of steering control. A loss of steering control significantly increases the risk of a crash for the operator and others nearby.
