What NHTSA recorded

On certain trailers equipped with dexter axles, the disc brake caliper mounting bolts may strip. Insufficient clamp load between caliper and yoke can cause the caliper to disassemble and adversely affect the trailers braking system.

Possible consequence

Loss of braking can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dexter has modified the remedy for these vehicles (please see 06e029). A new larger caliper mounting nut will be installed. For more information you may contact dexter axle at 1-800-400-2164 or featherlite at 1-563-547-6000.
