Suspension07V536000

Filed Nov 27, 2007863 vehiclesKidron, Incorporated

Defect. CERTAIN VAN TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 223, "REAR IMPACT GUARDS." DURING TESTING, THE SLIDER SUSPENSION RAIL BETWEEN THE REAR IMPACT SYSTEM AND THE REAR SUPPORT AT THE REAR OF THE RIG SYSTEM DEFORMED. THE RIG SYSTEM IS COMPRISED OF THE REAR IMPACT GUARD AND THE TRAILER SUPPORT SYSTEM. THE TESTING PROCEDURE WAS FOR GUARD ENERGY ABSORPTION AND GUARD STRENGTH.

Risk. THE PURPOSE OF THIS STANDARD IS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF DEATHS AND SERIOUS INJURIES THAT OCCUR WHEN LIGHT DUTY VEHICLES COLLIDE WITH THE REAR END OF TRAILERS AND SEMITRAILERS.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL ADD SUPPORTS BETWEEN THE TRAILER CROSSMEMBERS ABOVE THE END OF THE SLIDER RAILS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 15, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KIDRON AT 800-321-5421.

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.
