Polar Tank Trailer SCX9 Recalled for Missing Rear Impact Guard Plate

Entrans is recalling 2023 Polar Tank SCX9 trailers that may lack a rear impact guard certification plate, failing federal safety standards.

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 safety component (rear impact guard) where the missing certification plate creates a risk of an un-remedied safety issue, potentially increasing the risk of a crash or injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Entrans International, LLC is recalling certain 2023 Polar Tank SCX9 trailers. The recall involves 75 units that may have been produced without a rear impact guard certification plate. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 223, "Rear Impact Guards," and 224, "Rear Impact Protection."

The missing certification plate may prevent the rear impact guards from being identified during future safety recalls. This oversight could result in an un-remedied safety issue, potentially increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Owners may contact Entrans customer service at 1-320-746-2255. Entrans will provide corrected certification labels free of charge. The only affected dealer was notified on September 28, 2023.
