The problem
Utility trailer is recalling certain model year 2011 vs2ra and vs2dx trailers equipped with arvin meritor suspension systems. The suspect systems may have missing welds at the interface of the lower seat bracket and axle beam.
The risk
Missing welds could allow the axle to roll out of position and potentially impact the handling of the trailer such that a driver may lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Utility trailer is working with arvinmeritor to identify owners with the affect suspension systems. The affected vehicles will be repaired free of charge. Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-0896.
