East Manufacturing Corp. is recalling 17 of its 2018-2021 Frame Dump Trailers due to a serious steering defect. The steering arm on these trailers can fracture under certain conditions, particularly during low-speed maneuvers with high side-loading. To address this safety hazard, Dexter Axle dealers will install a newly designed steering arm and add reinforcement welds at no cost to owners.
If the steering arm fractures, the arm and tie rod can separate from the trailer and fall to the ground. This loss of steering control significantly increases the risk of a crash for the operator and others on the road.
Installation of a new steering arm and additional welds.
