What is wrong
Mac Trailer Mfg., Inc. (Mac Trailer) is recalling certain 2017-2020 Dump trailers equipped with Ingersoll Smart-Steer self steer axles. The steering arm may detach from the steering knuckle during certain low-speed, high-side loading maneuvers.
What can happen
A detached steering arm may cause a loss of steering control. In addition, attachment hardware may fall and become a road hazard. Both of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Dealers will inspect the steering arm and apply welds, free of charge. Owner notifications were mailed on September 7, 2021. Owners may contact Mac Trailer customer service at 1-330-823-9900.
