On hwy 10, right after phoenix,az. My left back axel from my 2001 stoughton trailer van caught on fire. The mobile service changed the bearings, hub,seal, repairs and cost of labor cost me $1597.70, plus he also open the other 3 caps of the axels and put grease on them, telling me that all the four axels need new drums and the 3 remain axels that he only greased, does need new seals and probably new bearings. When we continue our trip to los angeles, before coachella, ca. Our rear back right tire from the trailer exploded, we took the truck to the nearest travel center (4 miles away) and had to buy another tire and the mechanic told me that he was concern that the tire exploded because that axel was leaking very hot oil and he recommended that we will take care of the problem right away , to buy and change this tire cost me $324.34. We just bought in july 14, 2010 this trailer van and was guaranteed with all the permits> the mobile service mechanic, and the ta mechanic,both emphasis about that this trailer in the last times was not properly greased their axles.

Recalls 2
Service brakes, air: antilock: ABS warning light
- What is wrong
- On certain trailers equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control units (ecu). If the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp circuit experiences an electrical short and the short is not repaired, the high side power switch inside the ecu that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
- Risk
- If the power switch shorts, it can result in an over-current condition in the ecu and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
- Remedy
- Bendix will provide a remedy kit and detailed instructions and also provide a labor allowance for the repair. 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 bendix at 1‑800‑478‑1793 or stoughton at 1‑608‑873‑2500.
Recall number 03V376000 · Recall details
Service brakes, air: supply: check valve
- What is wrong
- On certain trailers equipped with bendix sr-2, sr-4, and sr-5 trailer spring brake valve assemblies, the molded rubber face of the inlet/exhaust valve (I/e valve) component of the affected valves can separate from the valve's metal insert. Air can be trapped by a separated I/e valve causing it to balloon and block the exhaust passage of the trailer spring brake circuit.
- Risk
- This condition can result in the affected vehicles being unable to apply the trailer parking/emergency spring brakes during parking in the event of a trailer supply line failure. Unintended rollaway could occur, possibly resulting in personal injury or death to the vehicle occupant or any bystanders.
- Remedy
- Bendix will notify customers and provide a repair kit and installation instructions free of charge. 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 bendix at 440‑329‑9000 or stoughton at 608‑873‑2500.
