The problem
East Manufacturing Corp. (East) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Frameless Dump Hybrid trailers. These trailers have draft arm tubing that may crack and fail.
The risk
If the draft arm tubing fails, a loss of vehicle control could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
East Manufacturing will notify owners and dealers will inspect for cracks. If no cracks are found, dealers will remove the old brace bracket and replace with an updated bracket, free of charge. If cracks are found, dealers will install a new draft arm assembly, free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2017. Owners may contact East customer service at 1-330-325-9921.
