Defect:

Certain arvinmeritor model 17n and 18n interaxle drivelines manufactured between may 1 and october 14, 2004. the bolt holes located on the earwork of the male shaft yokes were manufactured with an oversized minor thread diameter. this condition allows the bolts used in the holes to become detached which, in turn, could result in a driveline separation.

Consequence:

Driveline separation could result in a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in personal or death.

Correction:

Arvinmeritor will notify its customers and replace the male shaft yokes free of charge. the recall began february 8, 2005. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact arvinmeritor at
