Summary
Reinke is recalling certain 2010-2013 intermodal chassis frames. On certain chassis frames, the locking ring that secures the spindle nut is missing from the axle or is improperly installed and the spindle nuts may not be properly torqued which can lead to wheel separation.
Consequence
If wheel separation occurs, the driver may lose control of the vehicle, and detached dual wheels may enter the roadway, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Reinke will notify owners, and service repair facilities will inspect and repair axles as necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall began on may 2, 2012. Owners may contact reinke at 1-402-365-7521 or toll free 1-877-762-1001.

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 Reinke 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 Reinke dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
