What is wrong
Watson & Chalin Manufacturing, Inc. (W & C) is recalling certain SL2065 steerable lift axle suspension systems with a 20,000lb capacity. The lower rear pivot cap screws may not be long enough to sufficiently engage the locking feature of the corresponding nuts.
What can happen
The short screws can cause the hardware to separate from the suspension system and become road hazards, increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
W & C will notify the affected vehicle manufacturers and the aftermarket equipment installers that purchased the suspensions. The suspensions will replace the lower rear pivot fasteners replaced, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began September 22, 2020. Owners may contact W & C customer service at 1-972-838-1266.

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.
