2001 Finn BB302 recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trailers, the axle units have a potential for an under-min radius on the axle spindle. An undercut situation or existence of a stress riser may also be present.
💥 The risk
The presence of this condition CAN create a stress riser on the spindle arm causing it to fail at loads that it was otherwise designed to accommodate, resulting in separation of a wheel from the axle assembly.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install replacement axles. Owner notification is expected to begin during october 2003. Owners should contact finn at 1-800-543-7166.
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.)
