Defect SummaryHeartland is recalling certain model year 2011 fifth wheel trailers equipped with dexter axles. on some axles, cracks could appear in the spindle weld.
Consequence SummaryThese cracks can propagate and cause the spindle to detach from the axle tube, resulting in the separation of the wheel end from the vehicle, creating a road hazard that increases the risk of a crash to other vehicles, and compromises the driver's control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
