IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
October 14, 2022 Williamsen-Godwin Truck Body Co ATTN: Val Sorensen
1925 W. Indiana Ave.
Salt Lake City, UT 84104 Dear Sir or Madam,
Re: Safety Recall – Smart-Steer 2.0 Self-Steer Axle with 702887 Steer Arm Dexter Trailer Products of Canada Corporation (“Dexter Canada” (Ingersoll Axles)) has determined that ce1tain self – steer axles installed or distributed by your company may contain a defect which could be a safety risk under certain conditions or applications. Accordingly, a recall (NHTSA ID 22£-080) to address this issue was initiated effective September 21, 2022. This potential defect and the remedy are detailed in the attached Service Bulletin SB015 dated September 21, 2022. The affected axles aremodels ofthe Smart-Steer 2.0 self-steering axle with the 702887 bolt-on steer arm built from October 13, 2017 to October 30, 2022. Dexter Canada has determined that under ce1tain heavy loading conditions the steer arm attached to the knuckle can potentially shear. If this condition occurs, the upper section of the sheared steer arm will remain attached to theknuckle by themounting boltsand lower section ofthe steer arm will remain attached to the tie-rod assembly but potentially drag along the ground. At no time will the vehicle become uncontrollable and the operator will be able to safely operate until they can secure the axle under the vehicle. The repair, which is outlined in the Service Bulletin SB015 (attached), must be performed at a Dexter Canada authorized facility and will be at no cost to the owner (Dexter Canada will pay the cost of the prescribed repair). Please provide all known owners ofyour trailers which contain an affected axle with a recall notice with the specific instructions for the repair, as well the locations and contact information for authorized repair facilities. Your assistance with this matter is appreciated. Should you have any questions please contact Phil SchnurT directly at 226-242-5345 or email RecallSB015@dextergroup.com.
