Defect: ON CERTAIN DUMP, EQUIPMENT HAULERS AND HYDRAULIC TILT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH GLOBAL DIRECT COMPONENTS (GDC) AXLES, THE WELD WHICH FASTENED THE AXLE SPINDLE TO THE AXLE TUBE WAS IMPROPERLY WELDED.
Consequence: THE SPINDLE COULD SEPARATE FROM THE AXLE TUBE CAUSING THE WHEEL AND TIRE TO SEPARATE FROM THE TRAILER INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: BRI-MAR IS WORKING WITH GDC TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND HAVE THE AXLES REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BRI-MAR AT 717-709-2009.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
