The defect
Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling one 2019 Pierce Tanker vehicle built on a Daimler/Freightliner chassis equipped with a front Meritor MX 120EVO axle. The axle may have insufficient lubrication, which may result in damage to the wheel end bearings.
The risk
If the bearings are damaged, the wheel may separate and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of crash.
The remedy
Pierce will notify the owner, and a dealer will inspect and replace the wheel end components, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 27, 2020. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
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.
