13V373000·SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY2013-08-20

Silver Eagle Manufacturing Company (Silver Eagle) is recalling certain model year 1999-2001 VAST20W and 2001 CSL20W trailer converter dollies. The affected dollies were incorrectly built to have a hole in the center of the axle beam pointing downward. The hole at the bottom causes a stress crack in the tension side of the beam resulting in axle failure.

RiskIf the axle fails, the dolly could steer erratically, causing swerving, increasing the risk of a crash.

FixSilver Eagle will notify owners and instruct them to inspect their dollies for the position of the axle beam center hole. Anyone that has an affected dolly can get get a free replacement axle beam (installation is the owners responsibility) or $500 towards a replacement dolly for scrapping their old dolly. The recall began on September 20, 2013. Owners may contact Silver Eagle at 1-800-547-6792.
