What's wrong

Consequence
A wheel end separation can cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Meritor will notify owners, and dealers will replace all of the lower king-pins, free of charge. The recall began on November 22, 2016. Owners may contact Meritor customer service at 1-248-435-1725.
