Recalls for 2009 Neville Flatbed

DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:AXLE HUBS

Posted on: 2009-01-13
Description
Neville is recalling 81 my 2009 converter dolley, dropdeck, flatbed and grain hopper 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.  

Consequence
Fractured wheel studs could result in a vehicle crash.

Corrective Action
Neville is working with arvinmeritor who will replace any aftermarket replacement stud free of charge (please see 08e038).  Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-8793 or neville at 1-800-301-3487.
