Defect. East Manufacturing Corp. (East) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Refuse, Dump, Dolly Tipper Genesis, Frame Genesis, Frameless Genesis, Frame S&P, and Truck Dolly trailers manufactured August 26, 2013, to February 24, 2015. The affected trailers may have an insufficient amount of grease in the wheel end hubs.

Risk. If there is a lack of grease in the wheel end hubs, the wheel bearings may overheat, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. There is also the possibility that the wheel can come off the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. East will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and add more grease to the wheel end hubs, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2015. Owners may contact East customer service at 1-330-325-8204.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
