What's wrong

The problem

Spector Manufacturing, Inc. (Spector) is recalling certain 2019 Spectec SEC4896102 trailers equipped with Dexter Axle Ingersoll Smart-Steer self-steer axles. The steering arm may detach from the steering knuckle during certain low-speed, high-side loading maneuvers.

The risk

A detached steering arm may cause a loss of steering control. In addition, attachment hardware may fall and become a road hazard. Both of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

What to do

The fix

Dexter Axle will inspect the steering arm and apply welds, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Spector's customer service at 1-570-429-2510.
