Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not to every vehicle of a model year. Check your VIN with NHTSA or your manufacturer's dealer to confirm whether a recall affects your vehicle.

Recall campaignsA 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.

68 units potentially affected
The defect: ON CERTAIN TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH HOLLAND SUSPENSIONS, THE SUSPENSION BEAM CASTING MAY HAVE A CRACK AT THE INBOARD, UPPER FLANGE NEAR THE SHOCK MOUNT.
The risk: AS THE BEAM CRACK GROWS, THE SUSPENSION MAY LOSE ALIGNMENT. THE DRIVER WILL EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN DRIVING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The remedy: HOLLAND IS CONDUCTING THIS RECALL (PLEASE SEE 06E059000) AND WILL INSPECT THE TRAILERS BY USING A DRY MAGNETIC PARTICLE METHOD. UNITS WITH CRACKS WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW BEAM AXLE ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HOLLAND AT 1-616-396-6501 OR TIMPTE TRAILER AT 1-402-367-3056.

What a recall is

Safety recall
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.
Safety investigation
NHTSA 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.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
