SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- American Hauler is recalling certain 2018 Air-Lite, Arrow, Falcon/XC and Night Hawk cargo trailers equipped with Dexter D52 axles. The axles of these trailers may have spindle weld failures.
- What it can cause
- A failure of the axle increases the risk of crash and/or injury.
- What the dealer does
- American Hauler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the axles and replace them if necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Dexter Axle at 574-295-7888.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 64 vehicles this is a small campaign: 75% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by American Hauler with NHTSA on August 7, 2020 as campaign 20V463000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
