2005 Bri-Mar Dump Trailer recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain Dump, equipment haulers and hydraulic tilt trailers equipped with global direct components (gdc) axles, the weld which fastened the axle spindle to the axle tube was improperly welded.
💥 The risk
The spindle could separate from the axle tube causing the wheel and tire to separate from the Trailer increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Bri-mar is working with gdc to notify owners and have the axles replaced. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact bri-mar at 717-709-2009.
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.)
