Looks to me as you say a transducer but the other part/s look look like a wheel bearing or spacer or both notice it is red pointing towards bearing grease but I maybe wrong as the picture is not the best.

Over here in UK if anything, such as a plastic bag or rabbit, is seen on the runway, an inspection is always called for... Maybe they do not have spare staff at that time of day.
