Spector Manufacturing, Inc. "Spector" is recalling certain 2019 Spectec SEC4896102 trailers equipped with Dexter Axle 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.
Dexter Axle will inspect the steering arm and apply welds, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Spector's customer service at 1-570-429-2510.
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.
