Power train: axle assemblyReported February 18, 2011 · 384 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Utility trailer is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 vs2ra and model year 2008 vs2dx refrigerated and dry vans equipped with arvinmeritor axles. Insufficient torque may have been applied on the spindle nut on the arvinmeritor tl series trailer axles installed in these van trailers where the stake washer for the nut is staked in a single location as opposed to multiple locations.
Risk: Low and/or no torque on the nut can result in excessive end-play in the wheel-end system and could progress to a wheel separation which could result in a crash.
Remedy: Arvinmeritor is working with the vehicle manufacturers to identify and repair the vehicles that contain the subject axles free of charge. Please see arvinmeritor defect report 10e-058. The safety recall is expected to begin during march 2011. Owners may contact arvin meritor at 1‑248‑273‑4641.
