What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH HOLLAND SUSPENSIONS, THE SUSPENSION BEAM CASTING MAY HAVE A CRACK AT THE INBOARD, UPPER FLANGE NEAR THE SHOCK MOUNT.

The risk

AS THE BEAM CRACK GROWS, THE SUSPENSION MAY LOSE ALIGNMENT. THE DRIVER WILL EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN DRIVING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

HOLLAND IS CONDUCTING THIS RECALL (PLEASE SEE 06E059000) AND WILL INSPECT THE TRAILERS BY USING A DRY MAGNETIC PARTICLE METHOD. UNITS WITH CRACKS WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW BEAM AXLE ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HOLLAND AT 1-616-396-6501 OR TIMPTE TRAILER AT 1-402-367-3056.

Notes

CUSTOMERS CAN 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 HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
