What is wrong
Meritor, Inc. (Meritor) is recalling certain Meritor EX225L2, EX225L+, and Bendix ADB22X axles manufactured December 9, 2013, to August 25, 2015. The affected axle assemblies have caliper bolts that may not have been properly tightened, allowing the caliper mounting bolts to back out and the caliper to detach from the axle flange.
What can happen
If the caliper detaches from the axle flange, braking performance would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Meritor will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the axles. The vehicle manufacturers will notify owners, and their dealers will inspect the caliper bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 13, 2015. Owners may contact Meritor customer service at 1-866-668-7221.

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.
