What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Truck Equipment Service Company (Truck Equipment) is recalling certain model year 2014 Cornhusker 800SR, and 800ESR grain trailers, equipped with certain SAF-Holland-brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems. The affected trailer suspensions have pivot bolts that may fail.

The risk

Failure of the pivot bolts may cause the suspension and attached axle to separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Truck Equipment will notify owners, and SAF-Holland-approved repair shops will replace the defective pivot bolts with new pivot bolts, free of charge. The recall began January 16, 2015. Owners may contact Truck Equipment customer service at 1-800-869-0363, or SAF-Holland customer service at 1-888-396-6501.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to 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.
