NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 15V352000.
Defect description
Fontaine Trailer Company (Fontaine) is recalling certain model year 2016 Revolution flat deck platform and step deck platform semi-trailers manufactured April 20, 2015, to May 13, 2015. In the affected trailers, the hardened washers used in the bolted connections that secure the upper coupler, landing gear and suspensions to the trailer sub-frame may crack.
Safety consequence
Failure of the washers can cause the bolted joints to loosen, causing detachment of the trailer's structural components, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Fontaine will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected washers as well as the nuts and bolts used in the connections, free of charge. The recall began on July 1, 2015. Owners may contact Fontaine customer service at 1-205-485-1300.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
