What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2018 Wabash National Truck Body vehicles. The affected vehicles may be missing a weld on the vertical leg support.

The risk

In the event of a rear-end collision, the occupants have an increased risk of injury.

The remedy

Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vertical leg support, welding it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 17, 2018. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5300. Wabash's number for this recall is B18001.

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.
