WESTERN WORLD, INC. recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Oct 25, 2006, covering about 243 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trailers, one or more of the eight nuts and bolts attaching the two axles to the frames may not have been sufficiently tightened.
The risk
Insufficiently tightened nuts could come off and potentially one or both of the axles could separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will re-torque the nuts and bolts that attach the axles to the frame of the trailer free of charge. The recall began on october 18, 2006. Owners may contact western world at 1-800-247-2535.
