Meritor, Inc. "Meritor" is recalling certain Meritor EX225L2, EX225L+, and Bendix ADB22X axles manufactured December 9, 2013, to August 25, 2015. The affected axle assemblies have caliper bolts that may not have been properly tightened, allowing the caliper mounting bolts to back out and the caliper to detach from the axle flange.
If the caliper detaches from the axle flange, braking performance would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Meritor will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the axles. The vehicle manufacturers will notify owners, and their dealers will inspect the caliper bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 13, 2015. Owners may contact Meritor customer service at 1-866-668-7221.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
