Arvinmeritor recall: Power train
What is wrong
Arvinmeritor is recalling certain tl series trailer axles sold as aftermarket replacement equipment and sold and installed as original equipment in heavy trucks and recreational vehicles. The spindle nut may not have been properly torqued or not torqued at all allowing excessive end-play in the wheel-end system and could progress to a wheel separation.
What could happen
Separation of the wheel could result in a vehicle crash.
