What is wrong
ZF Group North America Operations (ZF) is recalling certain Hub Carriers manufactured January 17, 2014, to June 1, 2015. Due to casting problems, the affected hub carriers may have areas of porosity which may result in the hub carrier leaking oil or cracking.
What can happen
Cracks in the hub may result in hub failure, which could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
ZF has notified the affected bus manufacturers, and their dealers will begin a routine inspection process to identify any hub carrier leaks. When parts become available, the affected hub carriers will be replaced, free of charge. Owners may contact ZF customer service at 1-734-416-6200.

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.
