Defect
Pierce is recalling 3 my 2008 quantum fire trucks equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies with suspect wheel end studs. The wheel end studs were improperly tempered, potentially 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.
Safety risk
Fractured wheel studs could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
The vehicles involved in this campaign have been inspected and repaired as needed. No further action is required.
