2006 Timpte Grain Trailer recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trailers equipped with holland suspensions, the suspension beam casting may have a crack at the inboard, upper flange near the shock mount.
💥 The risk
As the beam crack grows, the suspension may lose alignment. The driver will experience difficulties in driving increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Holland is conducting this recall (please see 06E059000) and will inspect the trailers by using a dry magnetic particle method. Units with cracks will be replaced with a new beam axle assembly free of charge. Owners may contact holland at 1-616-396-6501 or timpte Trailer at 1-402-367-3056.
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.)
