Defect Summary:
Meritor, Inc. (Meritor) is recalling certain MT-40-14X Rear Drive Train axles manufactured November 11, 2014, to December 18, 2014.

Consequence Summary:
Without adequate lubrication to the wheel end hub assembly, the bearings may fail prematurely, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Summary:
Meritor will notify owners, and dealers will change the axle, and inspect the wheel ends for damage, replacing the components of the wheel ends, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Meritor customer service at 1-248-435-1725. Meritor's number for this recall is C15AC.
