ON CERTAIN TRAILERS BUILT TO U.S. TANK-AUTOMOTIVE AND ARMAMENTS COMMAND SPECIFICATIONS, THE WHEEL BEARING SPINDLE NUTS INSTALLED ON THE WHEEL AND AXLE ASSEMBLIES MAY BE OVER-TORQUED.
EXCESSIVE TIGHTENING OF THE SPINDLE NUT CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING OF THE BEARINGS WHICH MAY RESULT IN WHEEL BEARING FAILURE CAUSING THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO BREAK FREE FROM THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
