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 (steering component failure) that increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Stargate Manufacturing Ltd is recalling certain 2018-2019 Dump Trailers equipped with the Smart-Steer 2.0 self-steering axle and a bolt-on steer arm. The recall addresses a defect where the bolts attaching the steer arm to the knuckle can shear under heavy loading.

If the bolts shear, the steer arm can detach from the knuckle and drag, which increases the risk of a crash. The recall began on June 4, 2021.

Stargate will notify owners, and dealers will weld the steering arm and/or replace the defective bolts free of charge. Owners may contact Stargate customer service at 1-905-636-6888, extension 30, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
