- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: cargo van trailers equipped with conmet pregreased trailer axle hubs. The outboard bearing on the pregreased trailer axle hubs used with the tire inflation systems may fail due to the intrusion of contaminants through the tire inflation system.
- Risk
- An outboard bearing failure can result in a separation of the hub assembly from the spindle.
- Remedy
- Authorized dealers are instructed to convert greased hubs to oil hubs if the tire inflation system is to remain on the trailer.
