MILLER ELECTRIC IS RECALLING CERTAIN TRAILERS FOR IMPROPER HUB ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION. DURING THE ASSEMBLY SUPPLIER'S MANUFACTURING, THE ASSEMBLY BEARINGS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY TORQUE.
AN IMPROPERLY TORQUED BEARING COULD CAUSE THE BEARING TO FAIL, RESULTING IN A FAILURE OF THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY AND A RISK OF A WHEEL FALLING OFF, DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
MILLER ELECTRIC WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE HUB ASSEMBLY AND PROPERLY RE-INSTALL THE HUB ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MILLER ELECTRIC AT 920-734-9821.
