Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

206 units potentially affected
The defect: Cummins, Inc. (Cummins) is recalling certain Meritor drivelines with model numbers RPL20, RPL25, RPL10, RPL35, RPL14, and 176MXL. The drivelines may be missing a snap ring in the slip yoke assembly, causing the bearing cup to separate from the driveline.
The risk: A driveline separation can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. Detached components can become a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the driveline as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 20, 2026. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467. Cummins number for this recall is AFT26001.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
