On certain trailers, one or more of the eight nuts and bolts attaching the two axles to the frames may not have been sufficiently tightened.
Consequence:
Insufficiently tightened nuts could come off and potentially one or both of the axles could separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will re-torque the nuts and bolts that attach the axles to the frame of the trailer free of charge. The Circle J recall began on October 18, 2006.
