Defect:
Dexter axle is recalling certain trailer axle assemblies manufactured from august 15, 2010, through august 30, 2010. on some axles, cracks could appear in the spindle weld.

Correction:
Dexter axle is working with the vehicle manufacturers to identify the owners who may have the affected axles installed on their vehicle. the affected axle assemblies will be replaced free of charge. owners may contact dexter axle at 1-800-400-2164 or their vehicle manufacturer.
