What's wrong?
The 7,000 lb. axle on 2021-2022 Delco Trailers C-Series, F-Series, and D-Series trailers carries the trailer weight and keeps each wheel hub aligned with the suspension. The spindle is the machined end of the axle where the wheel hub rides, so the weld between the spindle and the axle tube has to hold the wheel end square under load.
On affected trailers, the supplier's welding machine was slightly out of alignment. The weld was not centered in the joint between the spindle and the main axle, which left uneven weld penetration on the joined parts. That weak weld can crack, and the axle can separate from the spindle under further pressure.
The warning sign is visible cracking at the spindle weld. If a crack is found during inspection, the axle has likely been overstressed and should be treated as at risk of breaking under additional load.

What's the safety risk?
Axle or spindle cracking can let the axle separate, increasing the risk of a crash. If an inspection shows cracked spindle welds, treat the trailer as overstressed and arrange dealer service before towing it again. The dealer will inspect the axle serial numbers and replace axles as needed. Repair is free at any franchised Delco Trailers dealer.

- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2022 Delco Trailers C-Series, F-Series, or D-Series trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Delco Trailers dealer to schedule the free axle inspection and replacement that addresses the spindle weld defect.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it, and reference recall number 22V564 when you call.
- Avoid unnecessary towing until the axle is inspected and replaced if needed.
- Call Delco Trailers customer service at 1-903-739-9400 with questions about trailer eligibility or dealer scheduling.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Delco Trailers technician inspects the axle serial numbers and replaces any covered axles that need replacement. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Out-of-pocket axle repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected trailers remain under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
