What was wrong

Defect

CERTAIN IMT AXLES WITH F24 SPINDLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN FEBRUARY AND NOVEMBER 2005 AND INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON TRAILERS. DUE TO IMPROPER MATERIAL USED ON THE AXLE SPINDLE THE SPINDLE CAN BEND OR BREAK CAUSING THE WHEEL END TO COME LOOSE.

Risk

WHILE BRAKING, THE SPINDLE CAN BREAK ALLOWING THE WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE TRAILER, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
