What's wrong?
The suspension on the 2014 Polar Tank SRJ7 Trailer supports the trailer, keeps the axles positioned under the tank, and helps absorb road impact. These trailers were built with certain SAF-Holland CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems. In that system, pivot bolts hold key suspension parts at their hinge points so the suspension can move while the axle stays aligned.
On the recalled trailers, those pivot bolts are the failure point. If a pivot bolt breaks, the suspension connection loses the hardware that keeps that joint clamped and controlled. The axle and suspension parts can shift from their intended position instead of tracking cleanly under the trailer.
Polar Tank's filing does not list an owner warning sign before the bolt failure. There is no warning sign before failure, so a visual inspection by a qualified trailer service technician or dealer is the practical way to confirm whether the recalled suspension parts are present.

What happens at the repair
The current remedy status is not listed, so confirm repair availability before bringing in the trailer. The stated repair path is through an SAF-Holland-approved repair shop, where a Polar Tank technician or approved repair technician replaces the defective suspension pivot bolts with new pivot bolts. The final repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Have the shop reference Polar Tank recall 14E-024 when you call so it can match the trailer to the correct pivot bolt repair.
