Suspension
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: 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
- Conmet is conducting the owner notification for this campaign. Authorized dealers are instructed to convert greased hubs to oil hubs if the tire inflation system is to remain on the trailer. If the tire inflation system is removed, the hub must be inspected for contamination and corrosion. The hub and bearing assembly must be replaced if there is evidence of corrosion. If there is no evidence of corrosion, lubricant and seal maintenance can be performed and the hub reinstalled. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact consolidated metco at 1‑800‑425‑4827 or wabash at 1‑765‑771‑5440.
