The hazard

On certain trailers equipped with SAF-Holland CBX Series Suspensions, the suspension assembly pivot bolts, which join the suspension tower and trailing arm assemblies, could fail. This could result in the pivot bolt head separating from the pivot bolt body, potentially causing the suspension tower and trailing arm assemblies to disassemble during trailer operations, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the pivot bolts.
