SUSPENSION:MULTIPLE AXLE
- The defect
- PJ Trailers is recalling certain 2021 C4, C5, U8, UL, U6, and UC trailers equipped with axles that may have missing inner bearings.
- What it can cause
- A missing inner bearing can cause excessive vibration, which over time could result in wheel separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- PJ Trailers will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailer axles and replace the idler axles, hub subassemblies, washers, and dust covers, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 25, 2021. Owners may contact PJ Trailers customer service at 1-866-752-8781.
- 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 373 vehicles this is a small campaign: 52% 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, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
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 PJ Trailers with NHTSA on February 8, 2021 as campaign 21V061000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
