4 recalls.

23V646000

Date: 2023-09-20. Systems: STRUCTURE.

Defect: Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2009-2024 dry van trailers equipped with a rail-style lift gate. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models. The location of the rear impact guard is too far forward from the rear of the trailer, reducing impact protection. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standa (excerpt)

Consequence: In the event of a rear impact crash, the rear impact guard may not sufficiently protect light duty vehicles, increasing the risk of injury. (excerpt)

Remedy: Dealers will add an extension to the rear impact guard, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 4, 2023. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404. Wabash's number for this recall is B23015. (excerpt)

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

18V808000

Date: 2018-11-15. Systems: STRUCTURE.

Defect: Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Wabash National Van trailers equipped with limb deflectors. The limb deflectors installed on the upper rear corner of the trailers may detach while moving.

Consequence: If the limb deflectors detach, it can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will remove the limb deflectors, free of charge. The recall began November 30, 2018. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404. Wabash's number for this recall is LEG201803.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

15V791000

Date: 2015-11-24. Systems: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR.

Defect: Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Van Trailers manufactured December 9, 2013, to August 25, 2015, and equipped with certain Meritor EX225L2, EX225L+, and Bendix ADB22X axles. The affected axle assemblies have brake caliper mounting bolts that may not have been properly tightened, allowing the caliper mounting bolts to back out and the caliper to detach (excerpt)

Consequence: If the caliper detaches from the axle flange, braking performance would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash. (excerpt)

Remedy: Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the caliper bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2016. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404. (excerpt)

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

14V726000

Date: 2014-11-12. Systems: PARKING BRAKE.

Defect: Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Van Trailers manufactured December 17, 2013, to January 23, 2015, equipped with a Haldex air braking system. The affected brake actuators may have been manufactured with an incomplete attachment of the internal rubber diaphragm to the actuation mechanism. This could cause dragging or overheated brakes.

Consequence: If the brakes begin to drag and overheat it can cause the brakes to smoke, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire and crash.

Remedy: Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake actuator, free of charge. The recall began on June 18, 2015. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5300.

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.
