Defect
Manac is recalling 185 my 2008 lwed,cfb, lwbd, sfb, tsh, tstd, sbd, sdd, add, cdd trailers equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies with suspect wheel end studs. The suspect 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
Manac is working with arvinmeritor who will replace any aftermarket replacement stud free of charge. Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-8793 or manac at 1-819-379-3738.
