2016 International Paystar & 2016 International Workstar recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong

The affected vehicles are equipped with Meritor MT-40-14X rear drive axles that may circulate an inadequate amount of lubricant to the wheel end hub assembly.
💥 The risk
Without adequate lubrication to the wheel end hub assembly, the bearings may fail prematurely, increasing the risk of a crash.
