Defect. ON CERTAIN 'ROCK PUP' 3 AXLE TRAILERS WITH 16' DUMP BOXES, CRACKS CAN DEVELOP IN THE WELDS WHICH HOLD THE 'NOSE' OF THE FRAME TO THE MAIN CHASSIS. THE 16' BOX MOUNT CAUSES A STEEL FRAME PLATE TO BE SHORTENED CAUSING A REDUCTION IN STRENGTH.

Risk. THE CHASSIS AND BOX CAN SEPARATE FROM THE DRAWBAR CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy. TRAILER OWNERS WILL INSPECT THE WELDS WHERE THE SLOPED FRAME 'NOSE' WELDS TO THE HORIZONTAL MAIN FRAME RAILS. IF CRACKS ARE FOUND, A FRAME UPDATE KIT WILL BE SENT TO THE OWNERS TO HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED LOCALLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMER 20, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTAT TRUCK EQUIPMENT AT 1-402-476-3225.

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.
