Theurer Recalls, Complaints & Safety Data

NHTSA safety recalls, owner-reported complaints and investigations, by model and model year · 1960–1985

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received. This total counts a complaint once for each Theurer model year it names.
0
Safety recallsDistinct NHTSA recall campaigns covering at least one Theurer model year. One campaign can cover several models and many model years; it is counted once here.
3
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

TRAILER HITCHESTWO WELDS CONNECTING THE PINTLE HOOK CROSSMEMBER ASSEMBLY TO THE TRAILERS SUSPENSION SUBFRAME HAVE BEEN OMITTED. THIS CAUSES CRACKS TO FORM ON CROSSMEMBER WHEN TOWING ANOTHER TRAILER. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THESE FATIGUE CRACKS WILL RAPIDLY DEVELOP IN THE PINTLE HOOK CROSSMEMBER AND CONTINUE TO GROW UNTIL THE CROSSMEMBER SEPARATES FROM THE TRAILER'S SUSPENSION SUBFRAME. A SEPARATED TOWED VEHICLE WOULD BE OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL ITS EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM BRINGS IT TO A STOP. HOWEVER, AN ACCIDENT MAY OCCUR DURING THE TIME IT IS OUT OF CONTROL.
