2006 Summit AD40 recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Summit trailer is recall certain model year 2006 AD-40 vehicles manufactured from september 1, 2006, through september 15, 2006, and equipped with arvinmeritor axles. Insufficient torque may have been applied on the spindle nut on the arvinmeritor tl series trailer axles installed in these van trailers where the stake washer for the nut is staked in a single location as opposed to multiple locations.
💥 The risk
Low and/or no torque on the nut CAN result in excessive end-play in the wheel-end system and could progress to a wheel separation which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Arvinmeritor is working with the vehicle manufacturers to identify and repair the vehicles that contain the subject axles free of charge. Please see arvinmeritor defect report 10E-058. The safety recall began on march 1, 2011. Owners may contact arvin meritor at 1-248-273-4641.
