Recall 08V-389: 2009 Jet Grain Trailer

The problem

Jet is recalling 11 my 2009 grain trailers equipped with arvinmeritor wheel end studs. The wheel end studs were improperly tempered, potentially rendering them brittle and susceptible to fracture. If one wheel stub fractures, the remaining wheel studs are required to carry more load.

The risk

If one of the wheel studs broke and was left in this condition, the remaining wheel studs may also fracture increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Jet is working with arvinmeritor who will inspect and replace the suspected studs free of charge(Please see 08e038). The recall is expected to begin during august 2008. Owners may contact jet at 1-515-332-3117 or arvinmeritor at 1-866-668-7221.
