- Summary
- Vehicle description: trailers equipped with hubs provided by webb wheel products. These truck trailer disc wheel hubs have direct-machined anti-lock braking systems (ABS), part number 2023A, and manufactured between April 14 and June 7, 2000. The ABS teeth are machined into the inner face of the hub bore, and the teeth are machined off center from the center of the hub. The speed sensor of the ABS system reads the tooth pattern and sends erroneous signals to the ABS control unit.
- Consequence
- This condition can cause the ABS system to cycle rapidly and extend stopping distances during an ABS controlled brake application possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Utility will notify its customers to inspect for defective hubs and will replace the hubs free of charge.
- Notes
- Owner notification is expected to begin during December 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 at 1-626-854-7209.ALSO contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

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.
