Summary

Pierce Manufacturing "Pierce" is recalling one 2019 Pierce Tanker vehicle built on a Daimler/Freightliner chassis equipped with a front Meritor MX 120EVO axle. The axle may have insufficient lubrication, which may result in damage to the wheel end bearings.

Consequence

If the bearings are damaged, the wheel may separate and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of crash.

Remedy

Pierce will notify the owner, and a dealer will inspect and replace the wheel end components, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 27, 2020. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723.
