Concern

Premature brake failure and/or wheel end damage

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that due to a production issue there is the potential for the brake shoe web ends where they are located at the cam roller D slots to either break orfail which can cause damage to the brake shoe brake lining and possibly the inner hub bearing. This can result in a reduction in braking efficiency. However early warning signs of the issue are noise high wheel end temperatures and ABS signal errors.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Meritor has quarantined all components within the distribution network and are recovering them. For units which have been fitted Meritor is recalling all the affected components and covering cost of the replacement shoes.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
