What is a recall? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, generally in cooperation with the vehicle manufacturer, issues recalls when a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment (including tires) does not comply with a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or when there is a safety-related defect in the vehicle or equipment. Work dictated by a recall is generally completed at no charge to the vehicle owner, regardless of whether you are the first owner or a subsequent owner. Please contact your service facilities for additional details and to confirm that this recall is relevant to your particular vehicle.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRAILERS MANUFACTURED BY VARIOUS BUILDERS FOR STRAIGHTLINE MANUFACTURING. THE AXLES AND AXLE COMPONENTS CAN BEND AND EVEN BREAK ON SOME UNITS ALLOWING THE AXLE TO STRIKE THE FRAME CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE AXLE AND AXLE ASSEMBLIES.
FAILURE OF THE AXLES COULD CAUSE THE WHEEL AND AXLE SPINDLE TO SEPARATE FROM THE TRAILER, CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL.
STRAIGHTLINE WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING AXLES WITH NEW, REINFORCED AXLES.
