Component: STEERING

Defect Description

Dexter Axle Company (Dexter Axle) is recalling certain Ingersoll Smart-Steer self steer axles. The steering arm may detach from the steering knuckle during certain low-speed, high-side loading maneuvers.

Consequence / Hazard

A detached steering arm may cause a loss of steering control. In addition, attachment hardware may fall and become a road hazard. Both of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

Proposed Solution

Dexter Axle will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steering arm and apply welds, free of charge. Notification to owners were distributed on May 7, 2021. Owners may contact Dexter Axle customer service at 1-574-295-7888.
