2011 Vanguard Cool Globe recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Vanguard is recalling certain model year 2011 Cool Globe trailers equipped with arvin meritor suspension systems. The suspect systems may have missing welds at the interface of the lower seat bracket and axle beam.
💥 The risk
Missing welds could allow the axle to roll out of position and potentially impact the handling of the trailer such that a driver may lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Vanguard is working with arvin meritor to identify owners with the affect suspension systems. The affected vehicles will be repaired free of charge. The safety recall began on november 24, 2010. Owners may contact arvin meritor at 1-248-435-0896.
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.)
