FLEETWOOD FOLDING TRAILER recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Sep 20, 1994, covering about 4,233 vehicles.
The problem
Insufficient grease was applied to the trailer axle hub inner bearing causing the bearing to overheat during tow operations. The overheated bearing can seize to the axle spindle causing the trailer axle hub to break at the rear seal flange.
The risk
A broken trailer axle causes loss of trailer control and results in a accident.
The fix
Dealers will remove the trailer's axle hubs and inspect the inner bearings for sufficient grease and also inspect all related axle parts such as bearing races and axle spindle for wear. The bearings will be repacked or replaced if necessary and new grease seals will be installed.
