2005–2008 Wabash VAN recall: suspension

⚠️ What's wrong

Wabash is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 vans and semi-trailers 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 may 12, 2011. Owners may contact arvin meritor at 1-866-668-7221.

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.)
