Wabash National Van recalls
Risk: The incorrect guard may not sufficiently protect a following vehicle during a rear end crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: Base rails that detach can cause cargo to shift or fall, resulting in a loss of trailer control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: In the event of a rear impact crash, the rear impact guard may not sufficiently protect light duty vehicles, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: Detached fuel tank brackets could allow the fuel tank to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Risk: If the aerodynamic skirt detaches while the trailer is moving it may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Risk: If the limb deflectors detach, it can increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper detaches from the mounting flange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Risk: If the caliper detaches from the axle flange, braking performance would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the brakes begin to drag and overheat it can cause the brakes to smoke, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire and crash.
Risk: In the event that both sides of the pivot connection crack, it could cause a separation of the axle/suspension assembly from the trailer, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Risk: Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.
