Defect
Sidump'r trailer is recalling 4 trailers equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies with suspect wheel end studs. The suspect wheel end studs were improperly tempered, potentially rendering them brittle and susceptible to fracture. If one wheel stud fractures, the remaining wheel studs are required to carry more load. If left in this condition, the remaining wheel studs may also fracture even if they are properly manufactured.
Safety risk
Fractured wheel studs could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Sidump'r is working with arvinmeritor who will replace the suspected studs free of charge (please see 08e038). Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-8793 or sidump'r at 1-402-582-4830.
