What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Pitts Enterprises, Inc. (Pitts) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 LT, LP and PT logging trailers manufactured January 1, 2014, to May 31, 2015. The affected trailers have a single point trunnion mount suspension which may develop cracks in the welds between the suspension and the frame.

The risk

If the welds crack, the suspension can shift or detach, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Pitts will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the suspension for cracks and repair the welds, free of charge. The recall began on May 6. 2016. Owners may contact Pitts customer service at 1-800-321-8073.

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.
