The problem
Moritz International, Inc. (Moritz) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 CR-series, SR-series, DLH-series, FH-series, UDC-series, FH+10-series, ULH-series, ULH+6-series, and ULC-series trailers manufactured March 6, 2015, to June 19, 2016. The affected trailers have axles whose mounting brackets may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the axles may detach from the trailer.
The risk
If an axle loosens or detaches, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
Moritz will notify owners, and dealers will properly tighten the axles, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners may contact Moritz Customer Service Department at 1-419-526-5222.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
