Wilson Livestock Trailer Recall for Suspension Channel Defect

Wilson Trailer Company is recalling 2000-2008 livestock trailers because a suspension component can break, causing frame cracking and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (frame cracking) that could lead to loss of suspension and increase the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Wilson Trailer Company is recalling certain model year 2000 through 2008 livestock trailers manufactured between March 1, 2000, and August 1, 2008. The recall involves 968 units.

The cross channel between the front and rear suspension hangers can break. If this breakage goes undetected, it can cause the frame to flex over time, leading to severe cracking of the frame. This condition could lead to a loss of suspension and increase the risk of a crash.

Wilson Trailer will notify owners and repair the trailers free of charge. The safety recall began on March 15, 2010. Owners may contact Wilson Trailer at 1-800-798-2002 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
