Defect:

Vanguard national trailer corporation (vanguard) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 cimc dry freight and refrigerated trailers manufactured october 22, 2014, to october 2, 2015, and equipped with certain meritor ex225l2 or ex225l+ axles. the affected axle assemblies have caliper bolts that may not have been properly tightened, allowing the caliper mounting bolts to back out and the caliper to detach from the axle flange.
