2008 Manac ADD & 2008 Manac CDD + 8 more recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Manac is recalling 185 my 2008 Lwed,CFB, Lwbd, SFB, TSH, Tstd, SBD, SDD, ADD, CDD trailers equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies with suspect wheel end studs. 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.
💥 The risk
Fractured wheel studs could result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Manac is working with arvinmeritor who will replace any aftermarket replacement stud free of charge. Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-8793 or manac at 1-819-379-3738.
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.)
