The problem
Jet Company, Inc. (Jet Co) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 38, 40 and 42-foot Aluminum Grain Trailers, manufactured May 2010 through July 2011 and equipped with a 6061-T6 aluminum extrusion 2X5 top tube. The top rail on the sides of the trailer may be too weak to prevent the trailer from buckling.
The risk
If the trailer buckles it could result in a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Jet Co will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the top rail to see if the material is strong enough, and if necessary, add an aluminum reinforcement free of charge. The recall began on January 27, 2014. Owners may contact Jet Co. at 1-515-332-3117. Jet Co's recall number is 384042ATR.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
