NHTSA recall campaign
15E020000
What was wrong
Defect
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.
Risk
Without adequate lubrication to the wheel end hub assembly, the bearings may fail prematurely, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer 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.
