What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 28' VAN TRAILERS SUPPLIED TO MOTOR CARGO, INC. CRACKS HAVE OCCURRED IN THE CROSSMEMBERS ABOVE THE SUSPENSION.

The risk

THE AXLE AND SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY COULD OUT FROM UNDER THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE CRACKED CROSSMEMBERS ABOVE THE SUSPENSION; THE VERTICAL MEMBER AT THE REAR OF THE SUSPENSION BEAM WILL BE FULLY WELDED TO THE BEAM AND REAR FRAME; AND THE "I" CROSSMEMBER AT THE FRONT OF THE SUSPENSION WILL BE REPLACED WITH A TUBE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 29, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT STRICK AT 1-215-949-3600.

Notes

ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

A 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.
