ATC is recalling 2021 Raven and Quest trailers because incorrect fasteners on the ramp door cables may cause bushing failure, increasing the risk of injury.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect that increases the risk of injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2021 Quest and Raven trailers equipped with a spring-assist ramp door assembly. The recall involves 461 vehicles. The defect is related to the fastener used to secure the spring-assist ramp door cables, which may be the incorrect type and over-tightened.

This condition could cause the cable bushings to fail. If the bushings fail, the cables may retract forcefully, which increases the risk of injury to individuals nearby.

ATC will supply new materials and work instructions to replace the existing ramp door cable fastener assembly free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 14, 2022. Owners may contact ATC customer service at 1-877-441-2440, ext. 342, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
