Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your fleet for 2023 Capacity of Texas TJ Series vehicles, including the 5000, 6500, and 9000 models.
  2. Contact Capacity of Texas customer service at 1-800-323-0135 to verify if your specific vehicle identification number (VIN) is included in this recall and to schedule a free inspection.
  3. Take the vehicle to an authorized dealer who will inspect the steering gear assembly and replace it at no cost if it is found to be defective.
  4. If you have additional questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
