07V578000

Date: 2007-12-18. Systems: STRUCTURE.

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.

Consequence: 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.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

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.
