What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

HD Trailer MFG, LLC (HD Trailer) is recalling certain 2022 Non CDL Gooseneck trailers equipped with Besser Pro 7000 lbs. Tubular Straight Axle assemblies. The weld that joins the spindle and the main axle may have been improperly placed, which can cause cracking or separation of the axle from the spindle.

The risk

Cracking or separation of the axle and spindle can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will inspect the axle serial numbers, and replace the axles as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 21, 2023. Owners may contact HD Trailer's customer service at 1-903-491-6759.

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.nhtsa.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.
