What is wrong
CERTAIN ARVINMERITOR HIGH ANGLE INTER-AXLE DRIVELINES, MODEL NO. RPL20, SHIPPED TO VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA AND FREIGHTLINER LLC BETWEEN JUNE 15 AND AUGUST 28, 2006, TO BE INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON CERTAIN HEAVY TRUCKS. AN IMPROPER SEATED OR MISSING SNAP RING CAN RESULT IN THE BEARING CUP TO SEPARATE FROM THE SLIP YOKE SUB-ASSEMBLY. THE UNIVERSAL JOINT CROSS COULD THEN CONTACT THE SLIP YOKE CASTING AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE EAR WORK TO FRACTURE.
What can happen
SHOULD THE DRIVELINE SEPARATE, THE VEHICLE COULD BECOME INOPERABLE. IN ADDITION, A DRIVELINE THAT HAS SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH NEARBY VEHICLES OR PERSONS, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH OR PERSONAL INJURIES.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
VOLVO TRUCKS AND FREIGHTLINER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE DRIVELINE FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OF THEIR VEHICLE(S) OR, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, OWNERS MAY CONTACT ARVINMERITOR AT 248-435-8793.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
