What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Strick Trailers, LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Van Trailers manufactured between November 12, 2013, and December 9, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with SAF-Holland-brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems. The recall involves 4 affected vehicles.

The defect involves pivot bolts in the trailer suspension that may fail at the point where the bolt head meets the body of the bolt. If these bolts fail, the suspension and attached axle may separate from the trailer, which increases the risk of a crash.

Strick has notified owners, and SAF-Holland has arranged for the delivery of one repair kit per axle free of charge. SAF-Holland will also reimburse owners for the labor required to install the repair kits. The recall began on September 17, 2015, and supersedes recall 14V-497. Owners may contact Strick customer service at 1-704-436-2590 or [email protected] for assistance.
