What was wrong

Defect

Meritor, Inc. (Meritor) is recalling certain FF967 Non-Drive Front Steer axles, part number 3100H7860, manufactured March 24, 2012, to April 11, 2012. The affected front axles may have been incorrectly heat treated.

Risk

If the front axle was not properly heated treated, it may fracture and a loss of vehicle control may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Meritor will notify the truck manufacturer that purchased the axles, and their dealers will inspect the axles for specific heat code and serial numbers. Axles meeting the criteria will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on June 8, 2016. Owners may contact Meritor customer service at 1-866-668-7221.
