East Texas Trailer "East Texas" is recalling certain 2021 Tank trailers equipped with Besser Pro 7000 lbs. Tubular Straight Axle assemblies. The weld that joins the spindle and the main axle may have been improperly placed, which can cause cracking or separation of the axle from the spindle.
Cracking or separation of the axle and spindle can increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the axle serial numbers, and replace the axles as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 24, 2022. Owners may contact East Texas customer service at 1-903-378-3303.
