Defect. Moritz International, Inc. (Moritz) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 CR-series, SR-series, DLH-series, FH-series, UDC-series, FH+10-series, ULH-series, ULH+6-series, and ULC-series trailers manufactured March 6, 2015, to June 19, 2016. The affected trailers have axles whose mounting brackets may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the axles may detach from the trailer.

Risk. If an axle loosens or detaches, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy. Moritz will notify owners, and dealers will properly tighten the axles, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners may contact Moritz Customer Service Department at 1-419-526-5222.

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.
