Defect: Timpte, Inc. (Timpte) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 bulk commodity hopper trailers manufactured October 9, 2013, to March 31, 2014, and equipped with certain SAF-Holland-brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems. The affected trailer suspensions have pivot bolts that may fail.
Consequence: Failure of the pivot bolts may cause the suspension and attached axle to separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Timpte will notify owners, and Timpte or SAF-Holland-approved repair shops will replace the defective pivot bolts with new pivot bolts, free of charge. The recall began on September 18, 2014. Owners may contact Timpte customer service at 1-402-367-3056 or SAF-Holland customer service at 1-888-396-6501.

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.
