Defect description

ON CERTAIN TRAILERS, THE AXLE UNITS HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR AN UNDER-MIN RADIUS ON THE AXLE SPINDLE. AN UNDERCUT SITUATION OR EXISTENCE OF A STRESS RISER MAY ALSO BE PRESENT.

Safety risk

THE PRESENCE OF THIS CONDITION CAN CREATE A STRESS RISER ON THE SPINDLE ARM CAUSING IT TO FAIL AT LOADS THAT IT WAS OTHERWISE DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE, RESULTING IN SEPARATION OF A WHEEL FROM THE AXLE ASSEMBLY.
