NHTSA Campaign 16V674000

EQUIPMENT

Issued by Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company · Reported Sep 19, 2016 · 66 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company (Utility) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Flatbed trailers, model FS2CHA, manufactured January 1, 2015, to September 16, 2016, equipped with certain Conestoga XP sliding trailer tarping systems with RAD-style rear closures. In the affected trailers, the rear aerodynamic device (RAD) may separate from the rear of the tarping system, due to rivet failure.

Consequence

If the RAD detaches from the trailer it may be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Utility will notify owners, and dealers will replace the mounting rivets with a bolted connection, free of charge. The recall began on September 20, 2016. Owners may contact Utility customer service at 1-818-965-1541.
