What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY TRAILERS, THE CENTER RAIL CAN DEVELOP A HAIRLINE FRACTURE IF OVERLOADED.

The risk

IF NOT DETECTED THIS COULD CAUSE THE CENTER RAIL TO BREAK INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A STEEL OR ALUMINUM INSERT INSIDE THE CENTER RAIL, INSTALL A RETRO KIT UPGRADE, OR INSERT AN OUTER BRACE. THIS WILL INCREASE THE STRENGTH OF THE CENTER RAIL. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 25, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KOCH AT 1-805-441-9300.

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.
