What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

PJ Trailers is recalling certain 2021 C4, C5, U8, UL, U6, and UC trailers equipped with axles that may have missing inner bearings.

The risk

A missing inner bearing can cause excessive vibration, which over time could result in wheel separation, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

PJ Trailers will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailer axles and replace the idler axles, hub subassemblies, washers, and dust covers, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 25, 2021. Owners may contact PJ Trailers customer service at 1-866-752-8781.

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.
