- What is wrong
- On certain trucks equipped with arvinmeritor rpl20 high angle interaxle driveshafts, an improper seated or missing snap ring can result in the bearing cup to separate from the slip yoke sub-assembly. The universal joint cross could then contact the slip yoke casting and eventually cause the ear work to fracture.
- Risk
- This could result in additional damage to the driveline, the vehicle to which it is attached and any additional nearby objects.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the driveshafts and replace them as needed. The recall began on december 6, 2006. Owners may contact freightliner at 1‑800‑547‑0712.
