Multiquip recall: Power train
What is wrong
Multiquip is recalling certain model year 2011 dual axle trailers, models trlr220xfh (ee46175 hydraulic brake axle) and trlr220xfe (ee46176 electric brake axle), manufactured from march 1, 2011, through july 22, 2011. Due to an incorrect welding procedure, the welded assembly at the axle hub may have insufficient weld penetration.
What could happen
The axle could break while in use possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Multiquip notified all identified owners on august 3, 2011. The axle supplier, global direct components (gdc), will inspect and measure the weld and replace any axle outside of specification. Owners may contact gdc at 1-574-522-5300 or multiquip at 1-310-537-3700.
