What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Manac Inc. (Manac) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Van Trailers. The aluminum rivets that secure the external rub rails may fail, allowing the rub rails to detach.

The risk

If the rub rail detaches, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

The remedy

Manac will notify owners and dealers will replace the aluminum rivets with stainless steel rivets, free of charge. The recall began on May 1, 2017. Owners may contact Manac customer service at 1-418-228-2018.

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.
