JET CO Grain Trailer Recall 16V013: Trailer Suspension Pivot Bolts May Fail, Risking Axle Separation

NHTSA campaign 16V013, reported January 15, 2016, 84 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain trailer suspension systems have pivot bolts that may fail. If a pivot bolt fails, the suspension and attached axle can separate from the trailer, which raises the risk of a crash.

If you own a trailer built between November 1, 2013 and February 14, 2014 with a CBX series suspension, the manufacturer will notify you and replace the defective pivot bolts with new ones at no cost through service centers. Owners can contact Jet customer service at 1-515-332-3117 or SAF-Holland customer service at 1-888-396-6501. Check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your trailer is affected.
