The defect
Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2024-2025 RFCVHSC refrigerated van trailers. The base rails may not be bonded properly and can detach, reducing the structural strength of the trailer.
The risk
Base rails that detach can cause cargo to shift or fall, resulting in a loss of trailer control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will install an additional attachment plate, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 12, 2024. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404.
