What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN TRAILERS, THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION HANGER WELD MAY FAIL AT THE ATTACHMENT POINT BETWEEN THE HANGER AND THE SUBFRAME.

The risk

THE SUSPENSION AND AXLES CAN DETACH FROM THE TRAILER FRAME AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY TO PERSONS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SUSPENSION HANGER AREA , REPAIR AS NECESSARY, AND INSTALL A SUPPORT GUSSET TO STRENGTHEN THE WELD FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS BEGAN ON JANUARY 31, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT WILSON TRAILER AT 1-800-798-2002.

Notes

CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.

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.
