Recall 03V-371: 2001 Finn BB302
FINN CORPORATION recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Oct 6, 2003, covering about 68 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trailers, the axle units have a potential for an under-min radius on the axle spindle. An undercut situation or existence of a stress riser may also be present.
The risk
The presence of this condition can create a stress riser on the spindle arm causing it to fail at loads that it was otherwise designed to accommodate, resulting in separation of a wheel from the axle assembly.
The fix
Dealers will install replacement axles. Owner notification is expected to begin during october 2003. Owners should contact finn at 1-800-543-7166.
Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
