What NHTSA recorded

Insufficient grease was applied to the trailer axle hub inner bearing causing the bearing to overheat during tow operations. The overheated bearing can seize to the axle spindle causing the trailer axle hub to break at the rear seal flange.

Possible consequence

A broken trailer axle causes loss of trailer control and results in a accident.

Remedy

Dealers will remove the trailer's axle hubs and inspect the inner bearings for sufficient grease and also inspect all related axle parts such as bearing races and axle spindle for wear. The bearings will be repacked or replaced if necessary and new grease seals will be installed. Note: if the vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time or the remedy does not correct the defect, please contact fleetwood folding trailer at 1-800-544-8193.
