Wabash National Van Trailers Recalled for Incorrect Rear Impact Guards

Wabash National is recalling 2026 van trailers because incorrect rear impact guards may have been installed, 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 vehicle defect (rear impact guard) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Wabash National Corporation is recalling certain 2026 DVCVHPC van trailers. The recall is due to the potential installation of incorrect rear impact guards, which causes these vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 224, "Rear Impact Protection."

The incorrect guard may not sufficiently protect a following vehicle during a rear-end crash, increasing the risk of injury. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Wabash replaced the rear impact guards free of charge. All affected trailers were repaired by August 18, 2025. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404 for further information.
