STEERING
Issued by Mac Trailer Mfg., Inc. · Reported Jul 1, 2021 · 53 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Mac Trailer Mfg., Inc. (Mac Trailer) is recalling certain 2017-2020 Dump trailers equipped with Ingersoll Smart-Steer self steer axles. The steering arm may detach from the steering knuckle during certain low-speed, high-side loading maneuvers.
Consequence
A detached steering arm may cause a loss of steering control. In addition, attachment hardware may fall and become a road hazard. Both of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the steering arm and apply welds, free of charge. Owner notifications were mailed on September 7, 2021. Owners may contact Mac Trailer customer service at 1-330-823-9900.
