What’s wrong with it?
Wheel separation from the vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
Meritor, Inc. is recalling certain wheel ends for drive axles with ConMet PreSet Plus Hubs manufactured August 2012 and December 2012.
Due to a missing locking snap ring on the axle hub, the rear wheels may separate from the vehicle.
