What NHTSA recorded

On certain heavy duty truck/tractors equipped with arvinmeritor series 145 and 160 rear drive axles. The suspect rear drive axle's spindles may have been incorrectly heat treated. Such a condition lessens the overall structural integrity of the spindles and could result in its fracture.

Possible consequence

If a spindle fractures while the vehicle is in motion, it may cause wheel separation, which could, without warning result in a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the suspect vehicles and if the spindles are found to have certain date codes, the axle will be replaced. The recall began on october 7, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
