The problem

Vehicle description: trailers equipped with hubs provided by webb wheel products. These truck trailer disc wheel hubs have direct-machined anti-lock braking systems (Abs), part number 2023a. The ABS teeth are machined into the inner face of the hub bore, and the teeth are machined off center from the center of the hub. The speed sensor of the ABS system reads the tooth pattern and sends erroneous signals to the ABS control unit.

The risk

This condition can cause the ABS system to cycle rapidly and extend stopping distances during an ABS controlled brake application possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the hubs. Owner notification began february 21, 2001. 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 trailmobile at 1-217-348-8181 or webb wheel at 1-800-633-3256.
