Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN TRAILERS WITH THE AXLES PLACED SO THAT THE BACK OF THE TIRE IS MORE THAN 12 INCHES FROM THE REAR OF THE TRAILER FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 224, "REAR IMPACT PROTECTION." THESE TRAILERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH APPROVED REAR IMPACT PROTECTION, BUT ARE NOT PROPERLY LABELED. A LABEL WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S NAME AND ADDRESS, THE LETTERS DOT, AND THE DATE MANUFACTURED NEEDS TO BE PLACED ON THE FORWARD FACING SURFACE OF THE HORIZONTAL GUARD 12 INCHES IN FROM THE RIGHT SIDE.

Risk. IF THE DESIGNED PLACEMENT OF THE AXLES ALLOWED THE TIRES TO BE GREATER THAN 12 INCHES AWAY FROM THE REAR OF THE TRAILER WITH THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE SUSPENSION, THE TRAILER WAS DETERMINED NOT TO BE A REAR WHEELED VEHICLE REQUIRING DOT APPROVED REAR IMPACT PROTECTION WITH PROPER LABELING.

Remedy. OWNERS WILL BE SENT THE LABELS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY THE LABELS TO THE TRAILERS.

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.
