2010 C&B TRAILER; 2011 C&B TRAILER
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
C & B Quality Trailer Works, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 C&B livestock trailers manufactured between June 30, 2010, and February 21, 2011, that have an automatically latching rear gate. The trailers have a gate latch release handle on the outside that can be reached through a window from inside the trailer. However, depending on factors such as arm length, some users may not be able to reach this outside handle if the gate becomes closed while they are inside, creating a risk of being trapped.
To address this hazard, C & B will contact owners and dealers will install a handle that is accessible from inside the trailer. The safety recall began on September 23, 2011. Owners of affected trailers should contact C & B at 1-208-455-2768.
