Meritor, Inc. is recalling 128 front steer drive axles, specifically part numbers FSD 8-16K and FSD 18. These 10-16K and 18-23K axles may have been manufactured with an insufficient amount of lubricant in the hubs. Vehicle manufacturers will provide a free remedy program to address this defect and prevent potential wheel bearing damage.
Insufficient lubricant can cause wheel bearings to fail and overheat, which may lead to the wheel separating from the vehicle. This results in a sudden loss of vehicle control and increases the risk of a crash.
Free remedy program completed by vehicle manufacturers.
