What was wrong
Defect
Trailstar International Inc. (Trailstar) is recalling certain 2017-2019 International Dump trailers equipped with Ingersoll Smart-Steer self steer axles. The steering arm may detach from the steering knuckle during certain low-speed, high-side loading maneuvers.
Risk
A detached steering arm may cause a loss of steering control. In addition, attachment hardware may fall and become a road hazard. Both of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Dealers will inspect the steer arm and apply welds, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters were mailed on July 29, 2021. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 2, 2021. Owners may contact Trailstar customer service at 330-821-9900.
