Recall 09V-007: 2008 Maurer GT 1677, 2008 Maurer GT 1693 and 2 more
MAURER MANUFACTURING INC. recall for power train, reported to NHTSA on Jan 9, 2009, covering about 4 vehicles.
The problem
Maurer is recalling 4 my 2008 gt 1693, gt 1677, gt 1702, and gt 1701 grain 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. If one wheel stud fractures, the remaining wheel studs are required to carry more load. If left in this condition, the remaining wheel studs may also fracture even if they are properly manufactured.
The risk
Fractured wheel studs could result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Maurer is working with arvinmeritor who will replace any aftermarket replacement stud free of charge. Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-8793 or maurer at 1-712-262-2992.
