Issued by SUMMIT TRAILER SALES, INC. · Reported Aug 25, 2021 · 1 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Summit Trailer Sales, Inc. (Summit Trailer) is recalling one 2017 AD45 trailer equipped with Dexter 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

A dealer will inspect the steering arm and apply welds, free of charge. Owners may contact Summit Trailer's customer service at 1-570-754-3511.
