An official Health Canada notice concerns Great dane. On certain semi-trailers, the spindle nut may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly. Incorrectly tightened spindle nuts can result in excessive end-play in the wheel-end system, and could result in a wheel separation. A wheel separating from the trailer could cause a loss of control and a crash. In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander. Both problems could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the wheel ends and tighten the spindle nuts to specifications. Published 2011-03-07.
