Defect

On certain trucks equipped with the fxl axle and meritor 16.5 x 5 brakes with dust shields, there may be interference between the dust shield mounting bolt and the knuckle on the front axle. As a result of the interference, the bolt joint between the wheel end and the knuckle may not meet the torque requirements.

Safety risk

This could result in vibration or brake performance issues. Braking capability would be diminished, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will remove the hub and brake assembly to install a new dust shield free of charge. The recall began on august 17, 2005. Owners may contact mack trucks 610-709-2131.
