What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Strick Trailers, LLC (Strick) is recalling certain model year 2014 Van Trailers manufactured November 12, 2013, to December 9, 2013, and equipped with SAF-Holland-brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems. The trailer suspension has pivot bolts that may fail at the point where the bolt head meets the body of the bolt.

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

Strick has notified the owners, and SAF-Holland has arranged for delivery of one repair kit per axle free of charge. SAF-Holland will reimburse the owner for the labor required to install the repair kits. The recall began September 17, 2015. Owners may contact Strick customer service at [email protected] or 1-704-436-2590. Note: This recall supercedes recall 14V-497.

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.
