What is wrong
Timpte is recall certain model year 2006 tdh vehicles manufactured from september 8, 2005, through september 9, 2005, and equipped with arvinmeritor axles. Insufficient torque may have been applied on the spindle nut on the arvinmeritor tl series trailer axles installed in these van trailers where the stake washer for the nut is staked in a single location as opposed to multiple locations.
