What this recall covers

The defect

Hyundai Translead is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 HT Hycube, HT Composite-XT, HT Original, and HT Composite 28' trailers manufactured September 20, 2012, to May 7, 2013. The affected vehicles have I-beams that may crack. If the cracks extend, the bogie may detach. These trailers have been identified and have been listed in the file attached.

The risk

If the bogie detaches, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Hyundai Translead will notify owners, and dealers will install a repair kit, free of charge. The recall began on February 21, 2017. Owners may contact Hyundai Translead customer service at 1-819-574-1500. Hyundai Translead's number for this recall is 801060.

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.
