2008 Hme 1871 recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Hme is recalling 5 my 2008 model 1871 fire trucks equipped with arvinmeritor wheel studs. These rear wheel studs may be brittle and break.
💥 The risk
If one of the wheel studs broke and left in this condition, the remaining wheel studs may also fracture increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Hme worked with arvinmeritor to have the wheel studs replaced. All vehicles have been inspected and corrected if necessary.
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.)
