On certain trailers, the PRO-TORQ axle spindle nut keeper/retaining clips may not have been properly seated or may have been omitted. Disengagement or omission of the axle nut keeper/retaining clips could lead to excessive wheel end play and result in a loss of control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Also, should a wheel separate from the vehicle, it could pose a danger to nearby motorists or bystanders, which could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the PRO-TORQ wheel end retainer clips, and repair as necessary.
