Arvinmeritor recall: Power train
What is wrong
Arvinmeritor is recalling certain mc16 and mc16 type tag axle assemblies that were shipped to motor coach industries between october 21, 2010, and december 6, 2010, for use on recreational vehicles. Bolts used to connect the axle housing to the spindle of the axle may not have been properly heat treated, resulting in potentially compromised hardness and strength that, in turn could lead to reduced joint integrity.
What could happen
Reduced joint strength of the spindle of the axle could result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Arvinmeritor is working with mci to identify and notify owners and repairs will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 3, 2011. Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-1725.
