What is wrong
Meritor, Inc. (Meritor) is recalling certain MT-40-14X Rear Drive Train axles manufactured November 11, 2014, to December 18, 2014. Due to an incorrect carrier and housing combination, the axles may have low lubricant levels that can cause the axle sump to inadequately circulate lubricant to the wheel end hub assembly.
What can happen
Without adequate lubrication to the wheel end hub assembly, the bearings may fail prematurely, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Meritor will notify owners, and dealers will change the axle, and inspect the wheel ends for damage, replacing the components of the wheel ends, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Meritor customer service at 1-248-435-1725. Meritor's number for this recall is C15AC.

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.
