Cheetah Recalls 2023 Trailers Due to Twist Lock Handle Separation Risk

Cheetah Chassis is recalling 2023 trailers because twist lock handles may separate, creating a road hazard or unsecuring containers.

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 where a component may separate, explicitly stated to increase the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.

Plain-English summary

Cheetah Chassis Corporation is recalling certain 2023 model year 7400GNFF0, 7235SNFSX, and 8400GNFF0 trailers. The recall involves 466 units where the Tandemloc twist lock handles may separate from the trailer and fall to the ground.

A detached lock can become a road hazard, and the failure may cause a container being transported to become unsecured. Either scenario can increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and repair affected handles and replace any missing lock assemblies free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed in July 2022. Owners may contact Cheetah's customer service at 844-205-5525 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
