What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Lucon, Inc. (Lucon) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Lucon Custom Heavy Haul dual axle trailers, models 10T162FCBW and 10T172FCBW, built on Dexter #13G axles. The axles may lack the proper amount of grease on the inner and outer bearings in the hubs.

The risk

A lack of grease on the bearings can cause overheating and premature bearing failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dexter notified Lucon dealers, and properly greased and reinstalled the components or replaced the components as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 20, 2019. Owners may contact Lucon customer service at 1-770-233-1331.

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.
