Defect. Charles Machine Works, Inc. is recalling certain 2020-2022 Ditch Witch VT24, VT12, VT14, and 2022 VT14MV trailers. The vehicle certification label does not have the correct Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and rims - other than passenger cars."

Risk. Incorrect GAWR information may cause the vehicle to become overloaded and result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dealers will replace the labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 12, 2022. Owners may contact Charles Machine Work's customer service at 1-580-572-2223.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
