What was wrong
Defect

Risk
If enough of the improperly heat treated studs fail on the same steer axle hub, the wheel may detach, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Meritor has notified the purchasers of the affected hubs, and those vehicle manufacturers will replace the wheel studs or replace the entire hub, free of charge. The recall began August 31, 2018. Owners may contact Meritor customer service at 1-866-668-7221.
