For the 2009 Utility VS2RA. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Utility been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Utility dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

2009 Utility VS2RA recalls, newest first

February 18, 2011NHTSA 11V117000384 vehicles potentially affected

Power train › Axle assembly

Summary
Utility trailer is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 VS2RA and model year 2008 VS2DX refrigerated and dry vans equipped with arvinmeritor axles. Insufficient torque may have been applied on the spindle nut on the arvinmeritor tl series trailer axles installed in these van trailers where the stake washer for the nut is staked in a single location as opposed to multiple locations.
Consequence
Low and/or no torque on the nut can result in excessive end-play in the wheel-end system and could progress to a wheel separation which could result in a crash.
Remedy
Arvinmeritor is working with the vehicle manufacturers to identify and repair the vehicles that contain the subject axles free of charge. Please see arvinmeritor defect report 10E-058. The safety recall is expected to begin during March 2011. Owners may contact arvin meritor at 1-248-273-4641.
