What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VT Hackney, Inc. (VT Hackney) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Side Loading Beverage Trailers manufactured December 5, 2013, to April 5, 2014, and equipped with certain SAF-Holland-brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems. The affected trailer suspensions have pivot bolts that may fail.

The risk

Failure of the pivot bolts may cause the suspension and attached axle to separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

VT Hackney will notify owners, and dealers will replace the pivot bolts, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in September 2014. Owners may contact VT Hackney customer service at 1-800-763-0700. VT Hackney's number for this recall is 14E-024.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to 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.
