Report received	August 22, 2006

Defect

On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with dexter axles, the disc brake caliper mounting bolts may strip. Insufficient clamp load between caliper and yoke can cause the caliper to disassemble and adversely affect the trailer's braking system.

Safety risk

Loss of braking can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dexter will repair these vehicles (please see 06e029). A new larger caliper mounting nut will be installed. For more information you may contact dexter axle at 1-800-400-2164 or nuwa at 620-431-2088.
