Summary

Hyundai Translead is recalling 2 specific 2022 V/T 53SW Q29485 VI2530154-AFJ Dry Van trailers that are equipped with Dexter Smart-Steer 2.0 Axles. These trailers feature bolt-on steering arms that can fracture under certain driving conditions, specifically during low-speed maneuvers with high side-loading.
