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.

639 units potentially affected
The defect: ON CERTAIN FRAMELESS, QUARTER-FRAME AND END DUMP TRAILERS, SMALL OUTER BUSHINGS (LEFT AND RIGHT) ON THE COUPLER PLATE HAVE CRACKED WHICH ALLOWS THE PIN THAT ATTACHES THE DRAFT ARMS TO THE COUPLER PLATE TO SLIP OUT.
The risk: THE TRAILER COULD TURN OVER WHILE DUMPING OR EVEN BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRUCK WHEN DRIVING. SERIOUS INJURY OR A FATALITY TO THE OPERATOR, BYSTANDERS OR OTHER MOTORISTS COULD OCCUR.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL ADD AN UPPER AND A LOWER REINFORCING PLATE AND INSPECT FOR CRACKS FREE OF CHARGE. TRAVIS IS IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING CUSTOMERS BY TELEPHONE IMMEDIATELY WITH EXPLANATION OF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. A WRITTEN OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER WILL FOLLOW.

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.
