OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
15E020000
Power Train:axle Assembly
Reported Mar 10, 2015 · Meritor, Inc.
Summary
Meritor, Inc. (Meritor) is recalling certain MT-40-14X Rear Drive Train axles manufactured November 11, 2014, to December 18, 2014. Due to an incorrect carrier and housing combination, the axles may have low lubricant levels that can cause the axle sump to inadequately circulate lubricant to the wheel end hub assembly.
Consequence
Without adequate lubrication to the wheel end hub assembly, the bearings may fail prematurely, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Meritor will notify owners, and dealers will change the axle, and inspect the wheel ends for damage, replacing the components of the wheel ends, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Meritor customer service at 1-248-435-1725. Meritor's number for this recall is C15AC.
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.
