The problem

Pierce is recalling 3 my 2008 quantum fire trucks equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies with suspect wheel end studs.

If left in this condition, the remaining wheel studs may also fracture even if they are properly manufactured.

Fractured wheel studs could result in a vehicle crash.
