What's wrong?
The 2014 Jet Co Grain Trailer uses a CBX series suspension to carry the trailer's load and keep the axle aligned behind the tractor. Pivot bolts are the heavy fasteners in that suspension joint. They let the suspension move as designed while holding the axle and suspension assembly in the correct position.
On recalled trailers, the pivot bolts in certain CBX suspensions can crack through the metal grain structure. SAF-HOLLAND described the crack as inter-granular and of unknown origin. If a pivot bolt fails, the suspension on that side no longer holds the axle square to the trailer, so the trailer can track out of line behind the tractor.
The warning sign is a trailer that suddenly looks or feels misaligned behind the tractor. The filing says that condition is immediately apparent to the driver.
Who's affected?
Both listed components sit in the suspension system; one calls out the rear non-powered axle assembly.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Pivot bolt failure can let the suspension and attached axle separate from the trailer, increasing crash risk. If the trailer tracks out of line behind the tractor, pull over when safe and arrange service. Repair will be free at any franchised Jet Co dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Jet Co Grain Trailer is included in this recall.
- Wait for Jet Co's owner notice before scheduling service; the pivot-bolt replacement is free once Jet Co opens the repair.
- Call Jet Co customer service at 1-515-332-3117 with questions and reference recall number 16V013.
- Avoid hauling the trailer until the pivot bolts are inspected or replaced, because a failed pivot bolt can let the suspension and attached axle separate from the trailer.
- Bring the recall notice to the service center if Jet Co has sent one.
