Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest May 27, 2009
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

STRUCTURE

May 27, 2009
2,227 units potentially affected
The defect: HAULMARK IS RECALLING 2,227 MODEL YEAR 2008 AND 2009 TRANSPORT/CAR HAULER TRAILERS, MODELS TS7DT2, TSC85WT2&3, TSR85WT2&3, TSRV85WT2&3, MAUFACTURED BETWEEN AUGUST 14, 2007 AND MAY 19, 2009. DUE TO INADEQUATE REINFORCEMENT OF THE STRUCTURE WHERE THE AXLE BRACKET ATTACHES TO THE FRAME RAIL, OVER TIME METAL FATIGUE CAN CAUSE CRACKS IN THE WELDS LEADING TO POTENTIAL FAILURE OF THE AXLE BRACKET ATTACHMENT TO THE FRAME RAIL.
The risk: FAILURE OF THE AXLE BRACKET ATTACHMENT TO THE TRAILER FRAME RAIL WHILE THE TRAILER IS BEING OPERATED COULD RESULT IN THE AXLE BECOMING SEPARATED FROM THE TRAILER FRAME. THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH.
The remedy: HAULMARK WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE TRAILERS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE JULY 6, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HAULMARK AT 1-800-348-7530 EXT. 292.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
