Defect. Multiquip, Inc. (Multiquip) is recalling certain 2018 Water trailers, models WTE5C and WTE5HP. These trailers have axles that have incorrect Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of 2,470lbs instead of the intended 3,500lbs.

Risk. The incorrect axles may fail from being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Multiquip will notify owners, and dealers will replace the axle assemblies, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2018. Owners may contact Multiquip customer service at 1-800-421-1244.

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.
