What is wrong: These axles consist of a steel tubular center section and forged steel spindles that are welded to each end of the tube. Either spindle can contain a circumferential crack through a portion of its cross section.
Risk: This crack can reduce the effective service life of the spindle and cause the spindle to fracture during normal vehicle operation increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy: Eaton will use portable ultrasonic testing equipment to inspect each suspect trailer axle. Trailer axles containing defective spindles will be replaced with equivalent axles.
