What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Strick Trailers, LLC is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 single axle van trailers manufactured between March 2010 and March 2014. The affected trailers may be equipped with rear impact guard gussets with part numbers 59653 and 59654.

Strick will notify owners, and dealers will install reinforcements to the rear impact guard or replace the gussets free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2014. Owners may contact Strick customer service at 1-800-967-6272 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
