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)

Defect: Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Van Trailers manufactured January 1, 2014, to May 10, 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: Wabash will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge.. Wabash issued an interim notification to owners on August 10, 2016. The recall began on September 6, 2016. Owners may contact Wabash Customer Service Department at 1-765-771-5300.

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.
