What's wrong
Hyundai Translead is recalling certain 2022 V/T 53SW Q29485 VI2530154-AFJ Dry Van trailers equipped with Dexter Smart-Steer 2.0 Axles with bolt-on steering arms. The steering arm may fracture during certain conditions, such as low speed and high side-loading.
Why it matters
The fractured steering arm and tie rod can separate and fall to the ground, increasing the risk of a crash.
