What NHTSA recorded

On certain trailers, the axle units have a potential for an under-min radius on the axle spindle. An undercut situation or existence of a stress riser may also be present.

Possible consequence

The presence of this condition can create a stress riser on the spindle arm causing it to fail at loads that it was otherwise designed to accommodate, resulting in separation of a wheel from the axle assembly.

Remedy

Dealers will install replacement axles. Owner notification is expected to begin during october 2003. Owners should contact finn at 1-800-543-7166.
