- The defect
- East Manufacturing Corp. (East Manufacturing) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Frame Dump Trailers. The steering arm may fracture during certain conditions, such as low speed and high side-loading.
- What it can cause
- The fractured steering arm and tie rod can separate and fall to the ground, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dexter Axle dealers will install a new steering arm and additional welds, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 16, 2022. Owners may contact Dexter Axle's customer service at 1-574-295-7888. East Manufacturing's number for this recall is 22E-080.
- 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 17 vehicles this is a small campaign: 88% 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 model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
East Manufacturing vehicles have been recalled over the steering once before this, most recently in June 2021 as 21V489000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 Manufacturing Corp. with NHTSA on December 12, 2022 as campaign 22V916000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
