What NHTSA recorded

Cottrell is recalling all models of cottrell trailers, model year 2006 through 2011, equipped with meritor axles that contain the fag brand bearing system. The bearing system has exhibited low durability life in certain vehicle applications.

Possible consequence

Prolonged use of the system in these applications can result in the degradation of the bearing grease, thereby potentially resulting in a bearing failure and subsequent wheel end fire.
