What's wrong?
The drag link on the 2023-2024 Battle Motors LET2 is part of the steering linkage. It connects the steering gear to the roadside steering knuckle, so movement from the steering wheel reaches the wheel-end parts that turn the truck. The steering system depends on that link staying straight, solid, and properly matched to the chassis.
On affected LET2 trucks, Battle Motors traced the issue to a failed quality control process that allowed an unapproved drag link into production. That part can deform or break under use. If the link bends, steering travel changes; if it breaks, the connection between the steering gear and roadside steering knuckle is lost.
The operator will notice a significant reduction in steering turn radius before catastrophic failure. That means the truck does not turn as sharply as expected, especially during low-speed maneuvers or tight turns.
Who's affected?
The same drag-link steering connection is listed for the 2023 and 2024 LET2 trucks.

What's the safety risk?
