What’s wrong with it?

A wheel end that separates from the trailer axle increases the risk of a crash.

Vanguard National Parts OEX (Vanguard) is recalling certain SAF-Holland tapered axles, part numbers 24790745090, 24790175090, and 24790165090, manufactured January 17, 2012, to January 10, 2013.

In the affected axles, the wheel end may separate from the axle due to an out of specification material thickness on the spindle.

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.
