IMT Standen Recalls Leaf Spring Assemblies for Trailer Suspension Defects

IMT Standen is recalling certain leaf spring assemblies for trailers because they may crack and break, posing a road hazard and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (leaf spring breakage) that can cause the component to separate and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Plain-English summary

IMT Standen's Limited Partnership is recalling certain 3 Leaf Tapered Springs, part numbers 355-00 and TRA 2727. These springs were sold as aftermarket replacements for installation on dry van, refrigerated, and flatbed trailers.

The leaf springs may crack, allowing them to break prematurely. If a leaf spring breaks, it can separate from the vehicle and become a road hazard, which increases the risk of a crash.

Standen will notify owners and replace the springs free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in January 2020. Owners may contact Standen customer service at 1-403-258-7800 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
