What is wrong
INNOVATIVE IS RECALLING 4 MY 2008 SFS-45, SDS-45 AND MY 2009 SDS-42 BUSES EQUIPPED WITH ARVINMERITOR AXLE ASSEMBLIES. THE WHEEL END STUDS MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY TEMPERED RENDERING THEM BRITTLE AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO FRACTURE. IF ONE WHEEL STUD FRACTURES, THE REMAINING WHEEL STUDS ARE REQUIRED TO CARRY MORE LOAD. IF LEFT IN THIS CONDITION, THE REMAINING WHEEL STUDS MAY ALSO FRACTURE EVEN IF THEY ARE PROPERLY MANUFACTURED.
What can happen
FRACTURED WHEEL STUDS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
INNOVATIVE IS WORKING WITH ARVINMERITOR WHO WILL REPLACE ANY AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT STUD FREE OF CHARGE (PLEASE SEE 08E038). OWNERS MAY CONTACT ARVINMERITOR AT 1-248-435-8793 OR INNOVATIVE AT 903-832-6684.

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.
