What is wrong
AXN Heavy Duty LLC (AXN) is recalling certain Trailer Axles. The wheel end nut locking device on these trailers may not be properly installed, allowing the wheel end to separate from the axle.
What could happen

The fix
AXN has notified the trailer manufacturers that purchased the axles, and dealers for those manufacturers will inspect the locking clip to ensure its proper installation, correcting it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 29, 2018. Owners may contact AXN customer service at 1-502-882-9122.
