Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Service brakes, hydraulic
Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with dexter axles, the disc brake caliper mounting bolts may strip. Insufficient clamp load between caliper and yoke can cause the caliper to disassemble and adversely affect the trailers braking system.
Risk: Loss of braking can increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dexter has modified the remedy for these vehicles (please see 06e029). A new larger caliper mounting nut will be installed. For more information you may contact dexter axle at 1-800-400-2164 or western rv at 1-866-567-4133.
Wheels:rim
Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with tredit wheels, the rims may have poor weld quality and insufficient press fit between the wheel rim and disc.
Risk: The center of the wheel could separate from the rim. The wheel may wobble and cause a vibration or the mounted tire could lose air causing the tire to go flat, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Western rv is working with tredit tire to notify owners and have the wheels replaced. The recall began on november 11, 2005. Owners may contact western rv at 1-866-567-4133.
