Vehicle recall 00V025000 · January 28, 2000

1988-1999 Wabash Roadrailer

Vehicle description: semi-trailers.

Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary: Vehicle description: semi-trailers. These semi-trailers are equipped with suspension bogies that can slide forward and aft to change the axle positions. The bogies slide along a pair of body rails that are welded directly to the bottom flange of the i-beam crossmembers that make up the floor support structure. The front stop pipes were inadvertently welded to the body rails several inches below the bottom of the crossmembers.
Consequence: Cyclic tension loading will result in the outside gusset weld cracking, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: This campaign has been superseded by campaign no. 02V-295. Dealers will cut away the vertical connection of the gusset to the rails eliminating the gusset cracking in the area where the stop pipe is solidly welded into the body rails.

Has your Wabash been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Wabash dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
