Summary
Vehicle description: van-refrigerated/dry freight trailers equipped with conmet pregreased trailer hubs and a tire inflation system. The outboard bearing on the pregreased trailer axle hubs used with the tire inflation systems may fail due to the intrusion of contaminants through the tire inflation system.
Consequence
An outboard bearing failure can result in a separation of the hub assembly from the spindle.
Remedy
Authorized dealers are instructed to convert greased hubs to oil hubs if the tire inflation system is to remain on the trailer. If the tire inflation system is removed, the hub must be inspected for contamination and corrosion. The hub and bearing assembly must be replaced if there is evidence of corrosion. If there is no evidence of corrosion, lubricant and seal manitenance can be performed and the hub reinstalled.
Notes
Owner notification is expected to begin during June 2000.OWNERS who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact utility trailer at 1-626-854-7215 or consolidated metco at 1-800-425-4827.ALSO contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Utility been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Utility dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
