What's wrong

Consequence
If the bearings are damaged, the wheel may separate and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of crash.
Remedy
Meritor has notified the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the axles and dealers for those manufacturers will inspect and replace the wheel end components, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 14, 2019. Owners may contact Meritor customer service at 1-866-668-7221.
