2006 Kwik M4000 recalls
Recall 11V-170: Power Train
Problem: Kwik-loc is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 converter dollies equipped with arvinmeritor axles. Insufficient torque may have been applied on the spindle nut on the arvinmeritor tl series trailer axles installed in these van trailers where the stake washer for the nut is staked in a single location as opposed to multiple locations.
Risk: Low and/or no torque on the nut can result in excessive end-play in the wheel-end system and could progress to a wheel separation which could result in a crash.
Fix: Arvinmeritor is working with the vehicle manufacturers to identify and repair the vehicles that contain the subject axles free of charge. Please see arvinmeritor defect report 10e-058. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact arvin meritor at 1-248-273-4641.
Recall 08V-123: Trailer Hitches
Problem: Kwik-loc is recalling 178 my 2006-2007 m4000 and m10000 dollies equipped with holland simplex se or se II fifth wheels, the latch lever pivot bolt assembly may have been over-tightened which could distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve. Corrosion or contaminates in the pivot may cause it to bind and prevent the fifth wheel jaw from latching securely around the trailer king pin.
Risk: There is a possibility that the fifth wheel may fail to latch without the driver's knowledge. When this occurs, the driver could drive away and the trailer could become disengaged increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the pivot bolt and sleeve with a hex head shoulder bolt and washer. The recall began on march 11, 2008. Owners may contact kwik-loc at 213-777-4373.
