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 (cracking pivot bolts) that could cause the axle/suspension assembly to separate, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Plain-English summary

Wabash National Corporation is recalling certain model year 2013 Van trailers manufactured between September 20, 2013, and November 30, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with specific 2013 Pivot Bolts (Part Number 93201070) manufactured by SAF-Holland. The affected pivot bolts are susceptible to cracking.

If both sides of the pivot connection crack, the axle and suspension assembly could separate from the trailer. This failure increases the risk of a vehicle crash.

Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will replace the pivot bolts with new ones free of charge. The recall began on February 9, 2015. Owners may contact Wabash at 1-888-396-6501 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
