Wabash Recalls 2027 Van Trailers Due to Improperly Tightened Bumper Bolts

Wabash is recalling 2027 van trailers because improperly tightened bumper tube bolts may reduce rear impact guard protection, increasing injury risk in crashes.

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 during 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 2027 Wabash van trailers. The recall addresses a defect where bumper tube bolts may have been improperly tightened. This issue reduces the protection provided by the rear impact guard, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 223, "Rear Impact Guards."

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

Dealers will tighten the bumper tube bolts free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on August 14, 2026. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404 for more information.
