SAF-Holland Recalls CBX Series Trailer Suspension Systems for Pivot Bolt Failure

SAF-Holland is recalling CBX series trailer suspension systems because pivot bolts may fail, potentially causing the axle to separate from the trailer and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (pivot bolt failure) that may cause the axle to separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.

Plain-English summary

SAF-Holland is recalling certain CBX series Trailer Suspension Systems. The affected suspensions include CBX20, CBX23, CBX25, CBX40, and CBX69 models, as well as parts of various repair kits. The defect involves pivot bolts that may fail.

If the pivot bolts fail, the suspension and attached axle may separate from the trailer, which increases the risk of a crash. This recall expands the population of suspensions previously recalled under campaign 14E-024 and supersedes that earlier campaign.

SAF-Holland will notify the additional trailer owners. Dealers will replace the defective pivot bolts with new ones free of charge. This notification began on August 10, 2015. Owners may contact SAF-Holland customer service at 1-888-396-6501 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
