Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Strick Trailers, LLC is recalling certain model year 1998-2005 Dry Freight Van Trailers manufactured between April 19, 1998, and January 17, 2005, that are equipped with specific rear impact guards using gussets 46829 and 46830. The rear impact guards on these trailers may not be strong enough to prevent a vehicle from traveling underneath the trailer if struck from behind, which could injure the driver of the striking vehicle.
To remedy this issue, Strick will notify owners and service centers will install reinforcements to the rear impact guards at no charge. The recall began on January 13, 2016. Affected owners should contact Strick customer service at 1-704-436-2590.
