POWER TRAIN:AXLE HUBS

Issued by ARVINMERITOR, INC · Reported Jun 9, 2008 · 5,392 vehicles affected

What's wrong

ARVINMERITOR IS RECALLING CERTAIN REPLACEMENT WHEEL STUDS WITH PART NO. NC-11 MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 7 AND MAY 19, 2008. THESE WHEEL STUDS WERE ALSO ASSEMBLED INTO TRAILER AXLE HUBS AND SOLD TO VARIOUS VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS FOR USE ON HEAVY TRUCKS. THE SUSPECT WHEEL END STUDS WERE IMPROPERLY TEMPERED, POTENTIALLY RENDERING THEM BRITTLE AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO FRACTURE. IF ONE WHEEL STUD FRACTURES, THE REMAINING WHEEL STUDS ARE REQUIRED TO CARRY MORE LOAD. IF LEFT IN THIS CONDITION, THE REMAINING WHEEL STUDS MAY ALSO FRACTURE EVEN IF THEY ARE PROPERLY MANUFACTURED.

Consequence

FRACTURED WHEEL STUDS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy

ARVINMERITOR IS WORKING WITH THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND THEY WILL REPLACE ANY REPLACEMENT STUD FREE OF CHARGE. EACH VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WILL SUBMIT A DEFECT REPORT AND FILE A REMEDY PLAN. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JUNE 2008. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT THEIR VEHICLE MANUFACTURER FOR MORE INFORMATION. IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED THESE WHEEL STUDS AS REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT, YOU SHOULD CONTACT ARVINMERITOR AT 1-248-435-8793.
