Defect. PJ Trailers is recalling certain 2021 C4, C5, U8, UL, U6, and UC trailers equipped with axles that may have missing inner bearings.

Risk. A missing inner bearing can cause excessive vibration, which over time could result in wheel separation, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. PJ Trailers will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailer axles and replace the idler axles, hub subassemblies, washers, and dust covers, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 25, 2021. Owners may contact PJ Trailers customer service at 1-866-752-8781.

I am a Deputy employed by the Harris County Sheriff's Office and assigned as a certified CMV inspector with the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit of the Vehicular Crimes Division. Today I stopped this trailer in combination with a Dodge Ram 3500 (gvwr 14k). The trailer was a model DE162 with gooseneck dump trailer a pair of 10k axles along with suspension, tires, and wheels consistent with a 10k pound rating. The GVWR on the decal showed 12000 lbs. The decal also showed the trailer was manufactured with the 2 10k axles. A computer search of the year, make, and model showed the GVWR should be 22000 lbs requiring the driver to have a Class A CDL license. I contacted PJ and verified they manufactured the trailer with the 12000 gvwr. In my opinion the only reason to do this is to circumvent CDL laws and it constitutes a hazard to the public by willfully allowing drivers to operate large vehicles requiring extensive training without any training at all. They are clearly prioritizing profit over safety.

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.
