2013 STRICK DRY FREIGHT VAN TRAILER
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Strick Trailers, LLC is recalling certain 2013 Dry Freight Van Trailers, model number S4280E99NFWOP, manufactured between October 1, 2012 and July 15, 2013. These trailers have tires positioned more than 12 inches forward of the rear, which causes them to fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 224 for rear impact protection. This defect increases the risk of injury to occupants of vehicles that collide with the rear of the trailer.
To remedy the problem, Strick will replace the fixed torque arm with an adjustable torque arm that allows for rearward adjustment of the axle at no cost to owners. The recall began on September 29, 2015. Affected owners should contact Strick customer service at 1-704-436-2590 to arrange the repair.
