What’s wrong with it?

AN OUTBOARD BEARING FAILURE CAN RESULT IN A SEPARATION OF THE HUB ASSEMBLY FROM THE SPINDLE.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: VAN-REFRIGERATED/DRY FREIGHT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH CONMET PREGREASED TRAILER HUBS AND A TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM.

THE OUTBOARD BEARING ON THE PREGREASED TRAILER AXLE HUBS USED WITH THE TIRE INFLATION SYSTEMS MAY FAIL DUE TO THE INTRUSION OF CONTAMINANTS THROUGH THE TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM.

  • NHTSA’s part: Suspension: front: hub.

What should you do?

AUTHORIZED DEALERS ARE INSTRUCTED TO CONVERT GREASED HUBS TO OIL HUBS IF THE TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM IS TO REMAIN ON THE TRAILER. IF THE TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM IS REMOVED, THE HUB MUST BE INSPECTED FOR CONTAMINATION AND CORROSION. THE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED IF THERE IS EVIDENCE OF CORROSION. IF THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF CORROSION, LUBRICANT AND SEAL MANITENANCE CAN BE PERFORMED AND THE HUB REINSTALLED.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
