- 10155374A select number of water trailers were shipped with axle assemblies that do not meet with proper axle load ratings (GAWR). In the interest of public safety, affected trailers must be updated with the proper rated axle assemblies. To ensure Multiquip could capture all possible affected units, a review of Purchase Orders placed with the axle supplier was conducted. Multiquip reviewed the axle receipt dates and conservatively established a block of trailers by manufacture date. Units by serial number were then cross-referenced by manufacturing date, and a block of trailers was identified. Only those Water Trailers that were shipped with axles rated for 2,470 lbs. are affected.
