What is wrong
Dexter Axle Company (Dexter) is recalling certain D28H, D35, D40, and D44 trailer axles. The inner hub bearings may not have been sufficiently greased, which can cause the bearings to overheat and fail.
What can happen
If the bearings overheat, the hub may fail, affecting handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Dexter will notify owners, and dealers will remove the hubs, repack the bearings and reinstall the hubs, free of charge. The recall began November 9, 2018. Owners may contact Dexter customer service at 1-574-295-7888.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
