Recall 11V417000: 2010–2011 Srtc Trailer

The problem

Snake river trailer company is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 srtc livestock trailers manufactured from may 26, 2010, through february 24, 2011 and built with an automatically latching rear gate. These trailers are equipped with a gate latch release handle located on the outside, to be reached through a window while inside the trailer should the gate become closed. Due to factors such as arm length, some users may not be able to reach the outside handle once inside.

The risk

Personal injury can occur should someone become trapped within the trailer.

The fix

Snake river will contact owners, and dealers will install a handle that is accessible from inside the trailer. The safety recall began on september 23, 2011. Owners may contact snake river at 1-208-455-2768.
