Plain-English summary

Industrial Axle Company (IAC) is recalling certain ALKO AXIS Axles, including model numbers H52, QF48, QF52, QF60, QF70, D52, D60, T52, and T60, with part number 363239.9. These units were manufactured between March 9, 2015, and April 17, 2015. The recall involves a total of 1,616 affected units.

The affected axle hubs have wheel mounting studs that may fail. If the wheel studs break while the trailer is being used, wheel separation may occur, which increases the risk of a vehicle crash.

IAC will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the affected hubs, and dealers for those manufacturers will notify the trailer owners. The recall began on May 8, 2015. The axle hubs and drums will be inspected, and depending on the date of production, the hub and drum will be replaced free of charge. Owners may contact IAC customer service at 1-800-400-2164 or [email protected]. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
