What’s wrong with it?

FRACTURED WHEEL STUDS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

ARVINMERITOR IS RECALLING CERTAIN REPLACEMENT WHEEL STUDS WITH PART NO.

NC-11 MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 7 AND MAY 19, 2008.

THESE WHEEL STUDS WERE ALSO ASSEMBLED INTO TRAILER AXLE HUBS AND SOLD TO VARIOUS VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS FOR USE ON HEAVY TRUCKS.

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.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
