Kaufman Trailers (Kaufman) is recalling certain model year 2016 Flatbed and Wedge Car Hauler trailers manufactured September 11, 2015, to October 14, 2015, equipped with certain 10,000 lb dual wheel axle assemblies. The affected trailers were manufactured with mismatched axle hub and cone assemblies that may cause leaking bearing oil seals, thus resulting in wheel bearing failure.

Risk: Premature bearing failure may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Kaufman has notified owners, and dealers will replace the affected axle assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2016. Owners may contact Kaufman customer service at 1-336-790-6817. The repair is free at any franchised dealer of your brand.
