Great Dane recall: Power train
What is wrong
Great dane is recalling certain 2007 through 2009 semi-trailer vans equipped with arvinmeritor tl axles shipped between april 2005 through july 2008. The spindle nut may not have been properly torqued or not torqued at all allowing excessive end-play in the wheel-end system that could progress to a wheel separation.
What could happen
Separation of a wheel from the vehicle will reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle and could result in a vehicle crash.

Great dane will notify owners and recall repairs will be performed by arvinmeritor free of charge. The safety recall began on january 31, 2011. Owners may contact great dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493 or arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-1725.
