2000 Trailmobile Cargo VAN Trailer recall: suspension

⚠️ What's wrong

Vehicle description: Cargo VAN trailers equipped with conmet pregreased Trailer axle hubs. The outboard bearing on the pregreased Trailer axle hubs used with the tire inflation systems may fail due to the intrusion of contaminants through the tire inflation system.

💥 The risk

An outboard bearing failure CAN result in a separation of the hub assembly from the spindle.

🔧 The fix

Authorized dealers are instructed to convert greased hubs to oil hubs if the tire inflation system is to remain on the Trailer. If the tire inflation system is removed, the hub must be inspected for contamination and corrosion. The hub and bearing assembly must be replaced if there is evidence of corrosion. If there is no evidence of corrosion, lubricant and seal maintenance CAN be performed and the hub reinstalled.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
