Wabash National Corporation: Suspension
Wabash National Corporation reported this defect to federal regulators on Nov 5, 2014 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 4. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain model year 2013 Van trailers manufactured September 20, 2013, to November 30, 2013, equipped with certain 2013 Pivot Bolts Part Number 93201070 manufactured by SAF-Holland. The affected pivot bolts are susceptible to cracking.
The risk
In the event that both sides of the pivot connection crack, it could cause a separation of the axle/suspension assembly from the trailer, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The remedy
Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will replace the pivot bolts with new pivot bolts, free of charge. The recall began on February 9, 2015. Owners may contact Wabash at 1-888-396-6501.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 14V702000.
