What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Novae Corporation (Novae) is recalling certain model year 2015 Sure-Trac Single Ram SD Dump Trailers manufactured September 10, 2014, to November 15, 2014. In the affected dump trailers, the hydraulic cylinder lift ram mount attached to the dump bed may fail because it is too thin.

The risk

If the mount fails, the dump bed could collapse during use, increasing the risk of personal injury.

The remedy

Novae will notify owners, and dealers will install a hydraulic cylinder lift ram mount reinforcement kit, free of charge. The recall began on January 19, 2015. Owners may contact Novae customer service at 1-260-758-9838.

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.
