Reported Mar 1, 2011 · 127 vehicles affected · FEATHERLITE, INC.

Problem: Featherlite is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2012 featherlite trailers equipped with arvinmeritor axles that contain the fag brand bearing system. The bearing system has exhibited low durability life in certain vehicle applications.

Fix: Featherlite has notified owners and arvinmeritor is performing the repairs free of charge. The safety recall began on march 29, 2011. Owners may contact arvinmeritor's ontrac performance plus call center at 1-866-668-7221 or featherlite at 1-563-547-6000.
