⚠️ What's wrong
LDJ Manufacturing, Inc. (LDJ) is recalling certain 2017-2018 R250 Container trailers. The axles may have been installed backwards. Additionally, some of the axle spring seats may have not been welded to the axle.
💥 The risk
If the axle was installed backwards, the brakes may not operate properly, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
LDJ has notified owners and dealers will inspect and correct the axle installations and weld the axle spring seat to the axle, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began May 22, 2019. Owners may contact LDJ customer service at 1-641-620-4034.
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.)
