- Defect:
- Equipment description: hubs for truck trailer disc wheels with direct-machined abs of part number 2023a manufactured between april 14 and june 7, 2000 and shipped to arvinmeritor between may 3 and october 30, 2000. the abs teeth are machined into the inner face of the hub bore, and the teeth are machined off center from the center of the hub. the speed sensor of the abs system reads the tooth pattern and sends erroneous signals to the abs control unit.
- Consequence:
- This condition can cause the abs system to cycle rapidly and extend stopping distances during an abs controlled brake application possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Webb wheel will conduct the notification, inspection/repair/replacement program at no charge to the consumer.
- Notes:
- Owner notification is expected to begin during january2001.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 webb wheel at 1-800-633-3256.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

- Defect:
- Customary advisory: this advisory pertains to certain skf phase iv truck hub units on arvinmeritor ff-980 series front axle assemblies and equipped by original equipment manufacturers (oems) with a combination of a) wheel mounting flanges of 11.1mm(0.437") or less and b) brake drum mounting flanges of 6.4mm (0.25") or less. arvinmeritor has determined that this configuration of products, when retrofitted with wheel separator plates, also know as wheel protectors, wheel savers, or wheel guards, potentially reduces the service life of the hub, which could result in a fracture of the skf hub flange.
- Consequence:
- If the hub flange fractures, vehicle control, braking, and stability are affected, and the wheel may separate from the vehicle possibly resulting in injury or death.
- Correction:
- The affected ff-980 series front axle assemblies are designated as ff-982, ff-984, and ff-987 for axles rated at 13,200 lbs., and ff-981, ff-983, and ff-986 for axles rated at 12,000 lbs., and were built into vehicles between september 1996 and march 1998. arvinmeritor advises that if a vehicle with the described configuration has been retrofitted with wheel separator plates, contact arvinmeritor immediately at 800-535-5560 to have the truck hub unit replaced free of charge.
- Notes:
- The customer advisory is scheduled to be mailed in november/december 2001.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 customer service center at 800-535-5560. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

- Defect:
- Arvinmeritor is recalling certain replacement wheel studs with part no. nc-11 manufactured between april 7 and may 19, 2008. these wheel studs were also assembled into trailer axle hubs and sold to various vehicle manufacturers for use on heavy trucks. the suspect wheel end studs were improperly tempered, potentially rendering them brittle and susceptible to fracture. if one wheel stud fractures, the remaining wheel studs are required to carry more load. if left in this condition, the remaining wheel studs may also fracture even if they are properly manufactured.
- Consequence:
- Fractured wheel studs could result in a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Arvinmeritor is working with the vehicle manufacturers to notify owners and they will replace any replacement stud free of charge. each vehicle manufacturer will submit a defect report and file a remedy plan. the recall is expected to begin during june 2008. owners should contact their vehicle manufacturer for more information. if you have purchased these wheel studs as replacement equipment, you should contact arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-8793.
