MultiQuip is recalling 119 model year 2011 dual axle trailers because a welding defect could cause the axle to break, potentially resulting in a vehicle crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (axle breakage) that could result in a vehicle crash, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

MultiQuip, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 dual axle trailers, specifically models TRLR220XFH and TRLR220XFE, manufactured between March 1, 2011, and July 22, 2011. The recall involves 119 units.

The defect is caused by an incorrect welding procedure that may result in insufficient weld penetration at the axle hub. This condition could cause the axle to break while in use, which may result in a vehicle crash.

MultiQuip notified all identified owners on August 3, 2011. The axle supplier, Global Direct Components (GDC), will inspect and measure the weld and replace any axle that is outside of specification. Owners may contact GDC at 1-574-522-5300 or MultiQuip at 1-310-537-3700.
