2009 STRICK VAN TRAILER; 2001 STRICK VAN TRAILER
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Strick Trailers, LLC is recalling certain 2001 and 2009 Van Trailers with model year 2001 trailers manufactured on October 11, 2000, and model year 2009 trailers manufactured between March 12, 2008, and March 17, 2008. The rear impact guards on these trailers may not be strong enough to prevent an automobile from traveling underneath the trailer if rear-ended, which could increase the risk of injury to the automobile driver.
To remedy the issue, Strick will notify owners and add reinforcements to the gussets free of charge. The company will send owners an interim notification starting in late October 2015, followed by a second notice when remedy parts become available, expected before the end of 2015. Affected owners should contact Strick customer service at 1-260-692-1300 for more information.
