Dear Sir or Madam,
IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Re: Safety Recall – Smart-Steer 2.0 Self-Steer Axle
Dexter Trailer Products of Canada Corporation (“Dexter Canada” (Ingersoll Axles)) has detennined that certain self –
steer axles installed or distributed by your company may contain a defect which could affect the safety of people under
certain conditions or applications. Accordingly, a recall (NHTSA ID 2 lE0 19) to address this issue was initiated effective
March 15, 2021 . This potential defect and the remedy were detailed in Service Bulletin SB009R dated December 4, 2019,
which your company received on March 24, 2020. A copy of that Service Bulletin is attached.
The affected axles are models of the Smart-Steer 2.0 self-steering axle with a bolt-on steer ann at 8-7/8″ tie-rod location,
built from May S, 2017 to December 4, 2019. Dexter Canada has detennined that under certain heavy loading conditions
the bolts attaching the steer ann to the knuckle can potentially shear. If this condition occurs, the steer ann will detach
from the knuckle on the affected side and potentially drag along the ground. In some cases the sheared section of the steer
ann bolt will dislodge from the steer aJm and fall to the ground. At no time will the vehicle become uncontrollable, and
the operator will be able to safely operate the vehicle until he or she can secure the axle under the vehicle.
The repair, which is outlined in the Service Bulletin SB009R ( attached), must be perfonned 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 promptly notify all known owners or the affected trailers or this recall and provide a copy or the Service
Bulletin.
Please note that it is a violation of Federal law for a you to sell or lease the trailers covered by this notification until the
repair for this recall has been perfonned. Substantial civil penalties apply to violations of this law.
Your assistance with this matter is appreciated. Should you have any questions please contact Phil Schnurr directly
at 116-142-5345 or email Reca11SB009R@dexteraxle.com.
