Hillsboro Industries

SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY

Hillsboro Industries (Hillboro) is recalling certain model year 2016 Open Aluminum Utility Trailers manufactured November 6, 2015, to April 1, 2016. On these trailers with a 2,990 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the axle attachment hardware may have been improperly installed, and as a result, the axle may not remain secured and aligned.

Risk: If the axle shifts, the trailer may pull to one side, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Hillsboro believes that all affected trailers were quarantined at dealers before being sold, therefore owner notifications will not be sent. Dealers will correct the axle mounting, free of charge. The recall began on April 14, 2016. Owners may contact Hillsboro customer service at 1-316-947-3127. The repair is free at any franchised dealer of your brand.
