What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Strick Trailers (Strick) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 dry freight single-axle trailers with air-ride suspensions mounted on a "C" channel sub-frame because the suspension assembly that is mounted on the "C" channel sub-frame may prematurely wear and fail.

The risk

Worn or failed suspension assemblies may lead to a loss of vehicle stability and compromised structural integrity, which can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Strick will notify owners. The safety recall began on Novenber 2, 2012. Owners may contact Jim Jackson at Strick Trailers at 1-260-692-1334.

Notes

Customers may 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.
