Plain-English summary
Vanguard National Trailer Corporation is recalling certain 2023-2024 model year trailers built after November 2022. The affected vehicles are equipped with a SAF Holland Tire Pilot Plus (TPP) tire inflation system. The defect involves the TPP electronic controller, which may open the check valves, causing the tires to deflate.
A loss of tire pressure while driving can lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall covers multiple Vanguard trailer models, including the VTD Trailer, Maxcube, VSD Trailer, VIP 4000, VXP, Refrigerated Trailer, VAF Trailer, and VSF Trailer.
Vanguard will work with the equipment manufacturer to replace and reactivate the Tire Pilot Plus system free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 8, 2024. Owners may contact Vanguard customer service at 1-888-253-3008 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
