Wilson Trailer Company is recalling 2007-2013 livestock trailers because plastic deck guides may fail, allowing the lift deck to shift and fall.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a mechanical defect that poses a risk of property damage but does not report injuries, fatalities, or structural defects affecting vehicle control, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
Plain-English summary
Wilson Trailer Company is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 livestock trailers manufactured between January 2, 2007, and November 30, 2012. These specific trailers are equipped with a lift deck in the nose compartment. The recall involves 556 vehicles.
The defect involves plastic deck guides on the lift deck that can fail to provide proper tracking when the deck is raised and lowered. If these guides fail to provide containment, the lift deck may shift to one side and fall past the permanent deck support rails. This failure increases the risk of damage to property inside the trailer.
Wilson Trailer will notify owners, and dealers will repair the trailers free of charge. The recall began on February 21, 2013. Owners may contact Wilson Trailer at 1-800-798-2002 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
