OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
13E071000
SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED Axle Assembly
Reported Dec 24, 2013 · Meritor, Inc.
Summary
Meritor, Inc. is recalling certain RMT14512ABS and RMT14612 trailer axles that were remanufactured for Trac Intermodal between June 1, 2013 and June 30, 2013. During remanufacturing, the axles may have been assembled with the lock washer and pin misaligned.
Consequence
The misalignment could prevent the pin from engaging. Additionally, the jam nut would not be torqued to specification, creating the potential for wheel separation, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Meritor will notify Trac Intermodal, and Meritor service personnel will inspect and repair the axles, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 20, 2014. Owners may contact Meritor at 1-800-535-5560. Meritor's number for this recall is C14AB.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
