Recent Utility Trailer recalls

  • Recall 21V243000Apr 7, 20212,752 vehicles

    Risk: Without the weld, the slider rail may detach from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 15V063000Feb 4, 20153,111 vehicles

    Risk: If the diaphragm is not completely attached, there may be internal leakage from the service section past the diaphragm, potentially trapping air pressure in the parking brake section. This air pressure in turn, if not vented, may prevent full release of the actuator unit, and may induce brake drag and may result in overheated wheelend service brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.

  • Recall 14V463000Jul 30, 20142,098 vehicles

    Risk: If the loop were to break off, the air lines and electrical lines would detach, applying the towed trailer's brakes, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

  • Recall 12V020000Jan 20, 201295 vehicles

    Risk: Battery boxes mounted with the incorrect size or improperly oriented mounting plates can become detached from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 11V117000Feb 18, 2011384 vehicles

    Risk: Low and/or no torque on the nut can result in excessive end-play in the wheel-end system and could progress to a wheel separation which could result in a crash.
