What is wrong
ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCK/TRACTORS EQUIPPED WITH ARVINMERITOR SERIES 145 AND 160 REAR DRIVE AXLES. THE SUSPECT REAR DRIVE AXLE'S SPINDLES MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY HEAT TREATED. SUCH A CONDITION LESSENS THE OVERALL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE SPINDLES AND COULD RESULT IN ITS FRACTURE.
What can happen
IF A SPINDLE FRACTURES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT MAY CAUSE WHEEL SEPARATION, WHICH COULD, WITHOUT WARNING RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SUSPECT VEHICLES AND IF THE SPINDLES ARE FOUND TO HAVE CERTAIN DATE CODES, THE AXLE WILL BE REPLACED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 7, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.

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.
