Marmon-Herrington recall: Power train
What is wrong
Marmon-Herrington is recalling certain drive axles, model numbers MT14, MT17, MT22, R17 and R22, manufactured July 28, 2014, to July 22, 2015. The affected axles are equipped with hex nuts on the flange yoke that may not have been properly tightened.
What could happen
If the hex nuts are not tightened to specification, the driveshaft may disconnect from the drive axle, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
If improper torque is observed, the hex nuts should be tightened to the appropriate torque. Owners may contact Marmon-Herrington customer service at 1-502-253-0277.
