Summary

Vanco USA, LLC "Vanco" is recalling certain model year 2015 Semi-Trailers, model 2WIL2A530SAR114/116, manufactured in April 2014, and equipped with certain SAF-Holland-brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems. The affected trailer suspensions have pivot bolts that may fail.

Consequence

Failure of the pivot bolts may cause the suspension and attached axle to separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Vanco will notify owners, and SAF-Holland-approved repair shops will replace the defective pivot bolts with new pivot bolts, free of charge. The recall began in August 2014. Owners may contact Vanco customer service at 1-609-499-4141 or SAF-Holland at 1-888-396-6501.
