Defect Summary:
Meritor, Inc. is recalling certain RMT14512ABS and RMT14612 trailer axles that were remanufactured for Trac Intermodal between June 1, 2013 and June 30, 2013. During remanufacturing, the axles may have been assembled with the lock washer and pin misaligned.

Consequence Summary:
The misalignment could prevent the pin from engaging. Additionally, the jam nut would not be torqued to specification, creating the potential for wheel separation, which could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Summary:
Meritor will notify Trac Intermodal, and Meritor service personnel will inspect and repair the axles, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 20, 2014. Owners may contact Meritor at 1-800-535-5560. Meritor's number for this recall is C14AB.
