What this recall means for you
Certain trailers have axle nuts and bolts that securing the brake drum to the axle shaft flange may not have been properly tightened. Over time this can affect the trailer's braking ability or allow the hub and wheel to separate from the axle.
A loss of braking or a detached wheel raises the risk of a crash. If you own an affected trailer, have the brake drum bolts checked and retorqued as needed. The repair is free at an authorized Dexter Axle dealer. You can also call Oliver Travel Trailers customer service at 1-866-205-2621 or Dexter Axle customer service at 1-574-295-7888, using Oliver's recall number 1ZP-ABC19-12. Check your VIN for any open recalls before towing.
