The short answer

NHTSA received DANA CORPORATION’s report on Feb 3, 2003. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 24, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

AS A RESULT, THE OUTER WHEEL BEARING WILL PREMATURELY FAIL WITH LITTLE OR NO WARNING, POSSIBLY ALLOWING THE WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE TRAILER WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

DANA SPICER TRAILER AXLES FOR USE ON GREAT DANE TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH WHEEL HUBS AND WHEEL BEARINGS.

THESE AXLES UTILIZED DANA’S LMS (LOW MAINTENANCE SYSTEM) WHEEL HUB ARRANGEMENT, IN WHICH A SOLID SPACER IS USED BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER WHEEL BEARING CONE TO ESTABLISH WHEEL BEARING ENDPLAY.

DANA HAS DETERMINED THAT SOME OF THESE TRAILER AXLES MAY HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH THE INCORRECT OUTER WHEEL BEARING CONE.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
