NHTSA Campaign 20V564000

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS

Issued by Fruehauf de Mexico SA de CV · Reported Sep 18, 2020 · 70 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Fruehauf De Mexico SA DE CV (Fruehauf) is recalling certain 2018-2019 FB 53 68,000 lbs GVWR trailers. A bumper reinforcement gusset was mistakenly omitted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 223, "Rear Impact Guards" and 224, "Rear Impact Protection."

Consequence

If the gusset is missing, a passenger car may go under the trailer during a rear impact crash, increasing the risk of injury to passenger(s).

Remedy

Fruehauf will notify owners, and dealers will install the bumper gusset, free of charge. The recall began January 10, 2021. Owners may contact Fruehauf customer service at 52-55-5898-7800 (International). Fruehauf's number for this recall is 3AW (WMI).
