Defect: East Manufacturing Corp. (East) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Frameless Dump Hybrid trailers. These trailers have draft arm tubing that may crack and fail.

Remedy: East Manufacturing will notify owners and dealers will inspect for cracks. If no cracks are found, dealers will remove the old brace bracket and replace with an updated bracket, free of charge. If cracks are found, dealers will install a new draft arm assembly, free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2017. Owners may contact East customer service at 1-330-325-9921.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
