What NHTSA recorded

Kwik-loc is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 converter dollies equipped with arvinmeritor axles. Insufficient torque may have been applied on the spindle nut on the arvinmeritor tl series trailer axles installed in these van trailers where the stake washer for the nut is staked in a single location as opposed to multiple locations.

Possible consequence

Low and/or no torque on the nut can result in excessive end-play in the wheel-end system and could progress to a wheel separation which could result in a crash.

Remedy

Arvinmeritor is working with the vehicle manufacturers to identify and repair the vehicles that contain the subject axles free of charge. Please see arvinmeritor defect report 10e-058. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact arvin meritor at 1-248-273-4641.
