What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

LDJ Manufacturing, Inc. (LDJ) is recalling certain 2017-2018 R250 Container trailers. The axles may have been installed backwards. Additionally, some of the axle spring seats may have not been welded to the axle.

The risk

If the axle was installed backwards, the brakes may not operate properly, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

LDJ has notified owners and dealers will inspect and correct the axle installations and weld the axle spring seat to the axle, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began May 22, 2019. Owners may contact LDJ customer service at 1-641-620-4034.

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.
