What's wrong?
On 2023-2024 Belmont Trailer Flatrak trailers, the FlatTrak spindle is the wheel-end support that carries the hub and wheel on the axle assembly. The spindle mount holds that spindle arm in place, so the wheel stays aligned and supported while the trailer rolls and carries its load.
On affected trailers, the mount can crack at the spindle attachment. Belmont traced the recall scope to trailers built after a process change for mounting the spindle, and the repair adds welds on either side of the joint. If the crack grows, the spindle mount and spindle arm separate, leaving that wheel assembly without its normal support.
There is no warning sign before failure. Belmont's chronology describes cracks found during evaluations and owners who discovered weld failure after a road issue, so do not rely on a sound, light, or handling change to tell you the spindle is failing.
