STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Seagrave Fire Apparatus, LLC (Seagrave) is recalling certain 2022 Seagrave Marauder and Capitol emergency vehicles. The tie rod clamps may have been improperly heat-treated, causing them to fail and allowing the tie rods to separate.
- What it can cause
- Separated tie rods can result in a sudden loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the tie rod clamps, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 15, 2022. Owners may contact Seagrave's customer service at 1-877-777-5360.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 9 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Seagrave vehicles have been recalled over the steering 5 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V622000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V622000 (steering).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Seagrave Fire Apparatus, LLC with NHTSA on September 26, 2022 as campaign 22V719000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
