What is wrong
East Manufacturing Corp. (East) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Refuse, Dump, Dolly Tipper Genesis, Frame Genesis, Frameless Genesis, Frame S&P, and Truck Dolly trailers manufactured August 26, 2013, to February 24, 2015. The affected trailers may have an insufficient amount of grease in the wheel end hubs.
What can happen
If there is a lack of grease in the wheel end hubs, the wheel bearings may overheat, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. There is also the possibility that the wheel can come off the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
East will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and add more grease to the wheel end hubs, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2015. Owners may contact East customer service at 1-330-325-8204.

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.
