NHTSA recall 20E055000 · Equipment
Suspension › Multiple axle
The defect
Watson & Chalin Manufacturing, Inc. (W & C) is recalling certain SL2065 steerable lift axle suspension systems with a 20,000lb capacity. The lower rear pivot cap screws may not be long enough to sufficiently engage the locking feature of the corresponding nuts.
The risk
The short screws can cause the hardware to separate from the suspension system and become road hazards, increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury.
The remedy
W & C will notify the affected vehicle manufacturers and the aftermarket equipment installers that purchased the suspensions. The suspensions will replace the lower rear pivot fasteners replaced, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began September 22, 2020. Owners may contact W & C customer service at 1-972-838-1266. W & C's number for this recall is W&C2020-01.
