- Summary
- On certain trailers, the axle units have a potential for an under-min radius on the axle spindle. An undercut situation or existence of a stress riser may also be present.
- Consequence
- The presence of this condition can create a stress riser on the spindle arm causing it to fail at loads that it was otherwise designed to accommodate, resulting in separation of a wheel from the axle assembly.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install replacement axles. Owner notification is expected to begin during October 2003. Owners should contact finn at 1-800-543-7166.
- Notes
- Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your Finn 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 Finn dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
