MANAC recall for power train, reported to NHTSA on Dec 16, 2008, covering about 185 vehicles.
The problem
Manac is recalling 185 my 2008 lwed,cfb, lwbd, sfb, tsh, tstd, sbd, sdd, add, cdd trailers equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies with suspect wheel end studs. The suspect wheel end studs were improperly tempered, potentially rendering them brittle and susceptible to fracture.

Fractured wheel studs could result in a vehicle crash.
