What NHTSA recorded

Heartland is recalling certain model year 2011 fifth wheel trailers equipped with dexter axles. On some axles, cracks could appear in the spindle weld.

Possible consequence

These cracks can propagate and cause the spindle to detach from the axle tube, resulting in the separation of the wheel end from the vehicle, creating a road hazard that increases the risk of a crash to other vehicles, and compromises the driver's control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Heartland is working with dexter axle and will inspect the axle serial number and replace it if it falls within the serial number range. Replacement of the axle will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on october 20, 2010. Owners may contact heartland warranty service department at 1-877-262-8032 or dexter axle at 1-800-400-2164.
