58 units affected
On certain trailers equipped with 3500 lbs torsion axles, the torsion arm attachment bar may have been made too small, or the hole in which it is inserted into is too large. This could result in the torsion arm, spindle, tire and wheel assembly separating from the trailer. This could pose a risk to other road users and/or result in a loss of vehicle stability and control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners are advised to look for the letters "SMG" that are cast into the center section (on one side) of the torsion arm. If the letters "SMG" are found, dealers will replace the torsion axle. If owners are not comfortable inspecting their trailer, dealers will perform the inspection.
