Campaign Details

Component: SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY

Defect Description

Kaufman Trailers (Kaufman) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Flatbed Equipment and Wedge Car Hauler trailers manufactured April 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016. The lock nuts that secure the axle hanger to the springs may not have been properly crimped allowing the nut to loosen and detach during operation.

Consequence / Hazard

If the nuts were to fall off, the bolts could loosen, and the axle may disconnect from the spring hangers, shifting or detaching from the trailer and increasing the risk of a crash.

Proposed Solution

Kaufman will notify owners, and provide them with new Nylock replacement nuts, free of charge. The recall began on May 20, 2016. Owners may contact Kaufman customer service at 1-336-790-6800.
