What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Multiquip, Inc. (Multiquip) is recalling certain 2018 Multiquip TRLR45H and TRLR70USH trailers. The center-mounted trailer jack may unexpectedly collapse from damage caused by excessive load on the trailer.

The risk

If the center-mounted jack unexpectedly collapses, there would be an increased risk of injury.

The remedy

Multiquip has notified Herc rentals, the company that owns all of the affected trailers, and will install additional gussets to the jack crossmember, free of charge. The recall began on March 23, 2018. Owners may contact Multiquip customer service at 1-800-421-1244. Multiquip's number for this recall is TL 20180306.

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.
