East Manufacturing Corp. "East Manufacturing" is recalling certain 2018-2021 MMX 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.
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.
Dealers will inspect the steering arm and apply welds, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 19, 2021. Owners may contact East Manufacturing customer service at 1-352-861-3612.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
