Power Train › Axle Assembly — Bri-mar · reported 15 Sep 2005 · 123 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
ON CERTAIN DUMP, EQUIPMENT HAULERS AND HYDRAULIC TILT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH GLOBAL DIRECT COMPONENTS (GDC) AXLES, THE WELD WHICH FASTENED THE AXLE SPINDLE TO THE AXLE TUBE WAS IMPROPERLY WELDED.
The risk
THE SPINDLE COULD SEPARATE FROM THE AXLE TUBE CAUSING THE WHEEL AND TIRE TO SEPARATE FROM THE TRAILER INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

BRI-MAR IS WORKING WITH GDC TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND HAVE THE AXLES REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BRI-MAR AT 717-709-2009.
