What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Felling Trailers, Inc (Felling) is recalling certain model year 2016 FT-6T tilting trailers manufactured from February 15, 2015, through June 30, 2015. Due to an improper placement of the fender, the tires on affected trailers may rub against the fenders.

The risk

If the tire rubs on the fender, tire damage may occur, possibly causing tire failure and increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Felling has notified owners, and dealers will measure the tire clearance and install a lift kit if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 11, 2015. Owners may contact Felling customer service at 1-888-335-5464.

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.
