Transcraft is recalling 2016-2021 Platform trailers because adjustable wheel stops may detach, increasing the risk of crash or injury.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (detaching wheel stops) that creates an increased risk of crash or injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
