NHTSA recall 94V182000
Suspension · FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC.
Details
What's wrong: Insufficient grease was applied to the trailer axle hub inner bearing causing the bearing to overheat during tow operations. The overheated bearing can seize to the axle spindle causing the trailer axle hub to break at the rear seal flange.
Why it matters: A broken trailer axle causes loss of trailer control and results in a accident.
The fix: Dealers will remove the trailer's axle hubs and inspect the inner bearings for sufficient grease and also inspect all related axle parts such as bearing races and axle spindle for wear. The bearings will be repacked or replaced if necessary and new grease seals will be installed.
