TIMPTE, INC. recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Jul 11, 2006, covering about 68 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trailers equipped with holland suspensions, the suspension beam casting may have a crack at the inboard, upper flange near the shock mount.
The risk

The fix
Holland is conducting this recall (Please see 06e059000) and will inspect the trailers by using a dry magnetic particle method. Units with cracks will be replaced with a new beam axle assembly free of charge. Owners may contact holland at 1-616-396-6501 or timpte trailer at 1-402-367-3056.
