2. 03E005000Received 3 Feb 2003. 56 units.

   Wheels / Hub

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Dana spicer trailer axles for use on great dane trailers equipped with wheel hubs and wheel bearings. These axles utilized dana's lms (low maintenance system) wheel hub arrangement, in which a solid spacer is used between the inner and outer wheel bearing cone to establish wheel bearing endplay. Dana has determined that some of these trailer axles may have been equipped with the incorrect outer wheel bearing cone.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   As a result, the outer wheel bearing will prematurely fail with little or no warning, possibly allowing the wheel to separate from the trailer which could result in a vehicle crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dana will notify its customers and provide inspection procedures. Dana will provide the customer (or the great dane dealers) with replacement lms wheel hub assemblies, including the bearings, wheel hub and seal, at no charge. Owner notification began on february 14, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact dana 269-567-1130.
