Wilson Trailer Company (Wilson Trailer) is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 livestock trailers manufactured from January 2, 2007, through November 30, 2012, and equipped with a lift deck in the nose compartment. The plastic deck guides on the lift deck in the nose compartment can fail to provide proper tracking of the deck when it is raised and lowered.
Safety risk
Failure of these guides to provide containment could allow the lift deck to shift to one side causing the deck to fall past the permanent deck support rails, increasing the risk of damage to property inside the trailer.
Manufacturer remedy
Wilson Trailer will notify owners, and dealers will repair the trailers free of charge. The recall began on February 21, 2013. Owners may contact Wilson Trailer at 1-800-798-2002.
WILSON TRAILER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2000 THROUGH 2008 LIVESTOCK TRAILERS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN MARCH 1, 2000 AND AUGUST 1, 2008. THE CROSS CHANNEL BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION HANGERS CAN BREAK AND, IF UNDETECTED, OVER TIME CAN CAUSE THE FRAME TO FLEX CAUSING SEVERE CRACKING OF THE FRAME.
Safety risk
THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF SUSPENSION AND INCREASE A RISK OF A CRASH.
Manufacturer remedy
WILSON TRAILER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPAIR THE TRAILERS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 15, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT WILSON TRAILER AT 1-800-798-2002.
