in one of the Service Letters the Branch stated that it became aware how dealers were using heat to straighten bent axles and disapproved of the process. But nothing was stated in terms of specific ramifications resulting from that practice.

If a Model "A" owner got in an accident, I would think the status of the front axle would be the least of his worries.
