2004 Wilson Grain Trailer recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trailers, the wheel assembly hub spindle nut on each axle may have been installed without a "keeper." the purpose of the keeper is to lock the spindle nut in place and, thereby, secure the wheel to the axle.
💥 The risk
Failure to install the keeper CAN cause the wheel on the affected axle to come off and cause personal injury to other persons outside the vehicle and property damage.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and determine if each wheel assembly lacks a keeper. If the keeper is not present, it will be installed. The recall began on september 9, 2004. Owners should contact wilson Trailer company at 1-800-798-2002.
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.)
