Date: 2020-11-04. Systems: EQUIPMENT, PARKING BRAKE, WHEELS.

Defect: Transcraft Corporation (Transcraft) is recalling certain 2016-2021 Platform trailers equipped with certain fork lift kits and adjustable wheel stops. The adjustable wheel stops may detach.

Consequence: If the wheel stop detaches while the trailer is parked and in use, there is an increased risk of crash or injury.

Remedy: Transcraft notified owners and provided repair instructions to inspect and repair the wheel stop assemblies, free of charge. The recall began November 13, 2020. Owners may contact Transcraft customer service at 1-877-489-9020. Transcraft's number for this recall is B20016.

Defect: Transcraft Corporation (Transcraft) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Platform Trailers manufactured January 1, 2014, to March 4, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.

Consequence: If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy: Transcraft will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. Transcraft issued an interim notification to owners on August 11, 2016. The recall began on September 6, 2016. Owners may contact Transcraft Customer Service Department at 1-618-833-5151.

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.
