DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING


Posted on: 2003-11-05
Description
Certain trailers were equipped with synthetic axle grease.  Wheel bearing failure occurs resulting in damaged wheel hubs, axle spindles, wheel seals, etc.  

Consequence
Extreme heat can occur that could cause the axle spindle to separate from the axle and cause the tires and wheels to come off while in operation, which could result in a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will remove tires and wheels, disassemble the axle hub wheel bearings, and inspect and replace, if necessary.  The suspect grease will be removed and cleaned thoroughly.  Owner notification began september 26, 2003.  Owners should contact rhodes at 1-304-863-8078.
