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

As the beam crack grows, the suspension may lose alignment. The driver will experience difficulties in driving increasing the risk of a crash.

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.
