Defect. ON CERTAIN TRAILERS, THE AXLE UNITS HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR AN UNDER-MIN RADIUS ON THE AXLE SPINDLE. AN UNDERCUT SITUATION OR EXISTENCE OF A STRESS RISER MAY ALSO BE PRESENT.

Risk. THE PRESENCE OF THIS CONDITION CAN CREATE A STRESS RISER ON THE SPINDLE ARM CAUSING IT TO FAIL AT LOADS THAT IT WAS OTHERWISE DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE, RESULTING IN SEPARATION OF A WHEEL FROM THE AXLE ASSEMBLY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL REPLACEMENT AXLES. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING OCTOBER 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FINN AT 1-800-543-7166.

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.
