What happened

Vintage Trailers Ltd. is recalling certain model year 2009-2016 Intimidator, Aero, Outlaw, Bandit, and Crystal SS triple axles trailers manufactured between May 9, 2008, and September 23, 2015. These trailers have an incorrect Federal Certification Label that lists the gross axle weight rating (GAWR) for each axle as 5,200 pounds when the correct rating is 5,080 pounds. If a trailer is loaded beyond its 15,200 pound gross vehicle weight rating limit, this labeling error could contribute to axle failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Owners of affected trailers should contact Vintage Trailers customer service at 1-800-233-5455. Vintage will provide affected owners with a corrected Federal Certification Label at no charge.

What should I do?

Vintage will notify owners and will provide a corrected Federal Certification Label, free of charge. The recall began on March 1, 2016. Owners may contact Vintage customer service at 1-800-233-5455.
