What NHTSA recorded

Featherlite is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 trailers equipped with a meritor axle. 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.

Featherlite is working with the meritor to identify and repair the vehicles that contain the subject axles free of charge. The recall began on may 24, 2012. This recall campaign supersedes previous recall campaign 11v-396. Trailers that were repaired under the previous campaign will also need to be repaired under this campaign.
