- The problem
- Manac is recalling 185 my 2008 lwed,cfb, lwbd, sfb, tsh, tstd, sbd, sdd, add, cdd trailers equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies with suspect wheel end studs. The suspect wheel end studs were improperly tempered, potentially rendering them brittle and susceptible to fracture. If one wheel stud fractures, the remaining wheel studs are required to carry more load. If left in this condition, the remaining wheel studs may also fracture even if they are properly manufactured.
- The risk
- Fractured wheel studs could result in a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Manac is working with arvinmeritor who will replace any aftermarket replacement stud free of charge. Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-8793 or manac at 1-819-379-3738.

Tl*the contact owns a fabrique-par marine master trailer, model s-1921-3625 (na). Once the contact arrived home, he noticed that the metal guide board was detached from the trailer. It was almost as if someone cut the metal with a knife. He stated that if the metal had blown off the trailer while it was in motion, it would have caused a catastrophic crash. The manufacturer stated that they were aware of the failure and the metal was defective. They further stated that they would replace the metal for free. Updated 5/5/09 *cn updated 05/06/09.*Jb
Was pulling a 2008 mustang horse trailer when the electric brake connection failed. When I proceeded to take the trailer in to be checked at a local automotive shop, I was alerted that 2 of the leaf spring bolts had worked loose. This could have caused the trailer to fall off the axle. *Tr
