Tractor
Trailer Axle Failure
A metallurgical failure analysis of the failed
tandem wheels and axle was requested after the driver side tandem rear tires of a tractor
trailer failed at the axle, fatally injuring a
pedestrian.
The failure analysis revealed that the wheel bearing
failure was the result of lack of lubrication and/or
improper maintenance.
