Manufacturer
2 recalls in our database name West-Mark as the manufacturing or recalling firm.
Of the 2 recalls from West-Mark we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 2 (100%) are Severe.
The manufacturer string comes from the agency’s own source notice — for FDA recalls, the “recalling firm” field; for NHTSA recalls, the vehicle manufacturer; for CPSC recalls, the firm-of-record on the joint press release. A single corporate family can appear under multiple manufacturer strings as agency notices aren’t standardized on a canonical name. If you don’t see recalls you expect, try a parent-company search or a broader full-text search.
Severity scores below are computed from the agency’s classification and the recall text, never from manufacturer behaviour or history. Many manufacturers issue routine corrective actions (software updates, labelling corrections) that are correctly scored low — having recalls on this list isn’t inherently a quality signal.
West-Mark is recalling one 2011 tanker trailer because brake caliper bolts may not be properly torqued, which could cause the calipers to detach and result in a loss of braking ability.
West-Mark is recalling 2014-2015 Sugar Tank trailers because improperly seated brake diaphragms may cause drag, potentially leading to wheel end fires.
