Meritor recall: Power train
What is wrong
Meritor is recalling certain tl series trailer axles that contain the fag brand bearing system. These axles are sold and installed as original equipment on various recreational vehicles. The bearing system has exhibited low durability life in certain vehicle applications.
What could happen
Prolonged use of the system in these applications can result in the degradation of the bearing grease, thereby potentially resulting in a bearing failure and subsequent wheel end fire.
The fix
This recall has been superceded by recall campaign 12e-015. Meritor is working with the vehicle manufacturers to identify and repair the vehicles that contain the subject axles free of charge. This recall campaign is an expansion of a previous campaign, 10e-057. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer or meritor at 1-248-435-1725.
