What's wrong?
The wheel nuts on the 2023 Doosan Portable Air Compressor trailer clamp each wheel to the hub. They are supposed to be tightened to a set torque, measured in ft/lbs, so the wheel stays seated while the trailer is pulled, turns, and hits road vibration. When that clamping force is correct, the wheel, studs, and hub work as one assembly.
On the recalled trailers, the wheel installation tool used at the Statesville, NC facility was not applying the correct torque. Some wheel lug nuts were not tightened to the 80-90 ft/lbs specification. As the trailer moves, normal road vibration can let an under-torqued nut loosen further, which reduces the clamping force holding the wheel against the hub.
The signs to watch for are vibration or tire wobble. Treat either sign as a reason to stop towing and have the wheel nuts checked and tightened to the proper specification.
