EQUIPMENT

Issued by East Manufacturing Corp. · Reported Oct 24, 2016 · 20 vehicles affected

What's wrong

East Manufacturing Corp. (East) is recalling certain model year 2016 Beast II flatbed trailers manufactured May 22, 2015, to June 19, 2015, 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

East will notify owners, and dealers will replace the mounting rivets with a bolted connection, free of charge. The recall began on September 6, 2016. Owners may contact East customer service at 1-330-325-9921. East's number for this recall is 16E-066.
