TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 WABASH TRANSCRAFT (NA) FLATBED TRAILER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ABS INDICATOR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE ABS INDICATOR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRAILER REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE TRAILER WAS TAKEN TO TWO DEALERS AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS SENSOR IN THE WHEEL HOUSING WAS NOT COMPLETELY "PLUGGED IN." THE TRAILER WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A GAP BETWEEN THE RAIL AND THE SECURING DEVICE ON THE LOAD SECUREMENT MECHANISM THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE LOAD SECUREMENT SYSTEM TO FAIL, THUS CAUSING THE TRAILER TO LOSE ITS LOAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS AGREED THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRAILER WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE THAT STATED THAT THE TRAILER MET MINIMUM FEDERAL REGULATIONS AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500.

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
