NHTSA recall 09V045000
Power Train · Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies. The wheel end studs may have been improperly tempered 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.
Why it matters: Fractured wheel studs could result in a vehicle crash.
The fix: Tiffin is working with arvinmeritor who will replace any aftermarket replacement stud free of charge (please see 08E038).
