The problem

Reitnouer, Inc. (Reitnouer) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Steer Axle trailers equipped with Dexter Ingersoll Smart-Steer self-steer axles. The steering arm may detach from the steering knuckle during certain low-speed, high-side loading maneuvers.

The risk

A detached steering arm may cause a loss of steering control. In addition, attachment hardware may fall and become a road hazard. Both of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

What to do

Dealers will inspect the steering arm and apply welds, free of charge. Owners may contact Reitnouer's customer service at 1-610-929-4856.
