STEERING
- The defect
- Hyundai Translead is recalling certain 2022 V/T 53SW Q29485 VI2530154-AFJ Dry Van trailers equipped with Dexter Smart-Steer 2.0 Axles with bolt-on steering arms. 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
- Dealers will install a new steering arm and additional welds, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 7, 2023. Owners may contact Hyundai Translead customer service at 1-800-251-0871.
- 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 2 vehicles this is a small campaign: 98% 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, 2022, 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 Hyundai Translead with NHTSA on August 2, 2023 as campaign 23V543000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
