DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY
Posted on: 2016-04-13
Description
Hillsboro industries (hillboro) is recalling certain model year 2016 open aluminum utility trailers manufactured november 6, 2015, to april 1, 2016. On these trailers with a 2,990 gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr), the axle attachment hardware may have been improperly installed, and as a result, the axle may not remain secured and aligned.
Consequence
If the axle shifts, the trailer may pull to one side, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Hillsboro believes that all affected trailers were quarantined at dealers before being sold, therefore owner notifications will not be sent. Dealers will correct the axle mounting, free of charge. The recall began on april 14, 2016. Owners may contact hillsboro customer service at 1-316-947-3127.
Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
