The issue
Certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with Dexter axles may contain cracks in the spindle weld. These cracks can propagate and cause the spindle to detach from the axle tube, resulting in the separation of the wheel end from the vehicle. This occurrence could cause a crash resulting in serious bodily injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the affected axles.
Description (français)
Certaines roulottes à sellette munies d'essieux Dexter pourraient comporter des fissures dans la soudure de fusée. Ces fissures pourraient se propager et faire en sorte que la fusée se détache du tube d'essieu, ce qui entraînerait le détachement de la roue et pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un gravement. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les essieux visés.
