Meritor recall: Power train
What is wrong
Meritor, Inc. (Meritor) is recalling certain MX10-120EVO, MX12-120EVO, and MX14-120EVO steer axles. The axles may have insufficient lubrication, which may result in damage to the wheel end bearings.
What could happen
If the bearings are damaged, the wheel may separate and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of crash.
The fix
Meritor has notified the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the axles and dealers for those manufacturers will inspect and replace the wheel end components, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 14, 2019. Owners may contact Meritor customer service at 1-866-668-7221.
