NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2021 Quest and Raven trailers equipped with a spring-assist ramp door assembly. The fastener used to secure the spring-assist ramp door cables may be the incorrect type and over-tightened, which could cause the cable bushings to fail.
The risk
Cable bushing failure may cause the cables to retract forcefully, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
ATC will supply new materials and work instructions to replace the existing ramp door cable fastener assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 14, 2022. Owners may contact ATC customer service at 1-877-441-2440, ext. 342.
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.nhtsa.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.
