⚠️ What's wrong

Vehicle description: transit buses equipped with arvinmeritor "w-series" air-actuated brake cam rollers. These rollers were installed as original equipment and also sold as replacement parts. The affected brake rollers may fracture if subjected to high application loadings.

💥 The risk

If one or more of the affected brake rollers fracture, proper brake application could be compromised, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

🔧 The fix

Arvinmeritor is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will inspect brake rollers and replace them if necessary. 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 1-859-525-3361.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
