STRUCTURE
NHTSA #17V464000Reported July 20, 2017 · Tremcar
Potentially affected: 3 vehicles
Defect description
Tremcar is recalling the rear impact guards used on certain 2008 Tremcar 1350 cubic ft B-train pup, 2008-2017 Tremcar 2800 cubic ft Dry Bulk Quad, 2014 Tremcar 1625 cubic ft Vac tandem, and 2016 Tremcar 2300 cubic ft Quad trailers. When impacted at the outer portions, the guards did not adequately resist sufficient force. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 223, "Rear Impact Guards."
Safety consequence
These rear impact guards may not adequately reduce the possibility of a car traveling under the trailer in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the car driver.
Manufacturer remedy
The purchaser of the affected guards is aware of the recall, therefore owner notification letters will not be sent. The remedy for this recall is still under development. The recall began on July 20, 2017. Owners may contact Tremcar customer service at 1-800-363-2158.
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.
