Recall 16V234000
Structure — Strick · reported 21 Apr 2016 · 167 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Strick Trailers, LLC (Strick) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 single axle 28 foot van trailers manufactured July 25, 2004, to February 3, 2009 and equipped with rear impact guards using gussets 55997 and 555998. These rear impact guard gussets could increase the chances of injury in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 223, "Rear Impact Guards."
The risk
If the rear impact guards do not meet the safety standards, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The fix
Strick will notify owners, and service centers will install reinforcements to the rear impact guards, free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2016. Owners may contact Strick customer service at 1-260-692-1300.
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.
Vehicles covered by this recall

Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
