Wheels › Hub — Miller · reported 29 Oct 2010 · 490 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
MILLER ELECTRIC IS RECALLING CERTAIN TRAILERS FOR IMPROPER HUB ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION. DURING THE ASSEMBLY SUPPLIER'S MANUFACTURING, THE ASSEMBLY BEARINGS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY TORQUE.
The risk
AN IMPROPERLY TORQUED BEARING COULD CAUSE THE BEARING TO FAIL, RESULTING IN A FAILURE OF THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY AND A RISK OF A WHEEL FALLING OFF, DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
MILLER ELECTRIC WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE HUB ASSEMBLY AND PROPERLY RE-INSTALL THE HUB ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MILLER ELECTRIC AT 920-734-9821.
OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO <A HREF=HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV>HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV</A> .
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
