Watson & Chalin recall: Suspension
What is wrong
Watson & Chalin Manufacturing, Inc. (W & C) is recalling certain SL2065 steerable lift axle suspension systems with a 20,000lb capacity. The lower rear pivot cap screws may not be long enough to sufficiently engage the locking feature of the corresponding nuts.
What could happen
The short screws can cause the hardware to separate from the suspension system and become road hazards, increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury.
The fix
W & C will notify the affected vehicle manufacturers and the aftermarket equipment installers that purchased the suspensions. The suspensions will replace the lower rear pivot fasteners replaced, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began September 22, 2020. Owners may contact W & C customer service at 1-972-838-1266. W & C's number for this recall is W&C2020-01.
