What’s wrong with it?
If the suspension arm cracks, the trailer will not be able to handle the load, making the trailer inoperable. Additionally, the axle may come loose during travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Maxey Trailers Mfg, Inc.
(MaxxD) is recalling certain 2017-2018 A3X, A5X, and A6X trailers.
The suspension arms on these vehicles may crack if they were installed without additional supporting welds around the suspension arm.
