- The defect
- East Texas Trailer (East Texas) is recalling certain 2021 Tank trailers equipped with Besser Pro 7000 lbs. Tubular Straight Axle assemblies. The weld that joins the spindle and the main axle may have been improperly placed, which can cause cracking or separation of the axle from the spindle.
- What it can cause
- Cracking or separation of the axle and spindle can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the axle serial numbers, and replace the axles as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 24, 2022. Owners may contact East Texas customer service at 1-903-378-3303.
- 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.nhtsa.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 3 vehicles this is a small campaign: 97% 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, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year 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 East Texas Trailer with NHTSA on October 3, 2022 as campaign 22V735000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
