Vehicle recall 00V221000 · August 14, 2000

Transcraft Eagle, TL2000 and 2 more models

Vehicle description: flatbed trailers.

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

Summary
Vehicle description: flatbed trailers. The wrong material specification was furnished for the vertical gussets of the bumper. This would allow the bumper to fail by folding under the trailer at lower impact forces than allowed. These bumpers do not meet the requirements of FMVSS no. 223, "rear impact guards."
Consequence
Failure of the rear bumper could allow vehicles involved in front end collision with the rear end of the trailer to run under the rear end of the trailer causing vehicle damage to the trailer/vehicle and could result in bodily injury to vehicle occupants.
Remedy
Dealers will add two steel bars to the vertical gussets of the rear bumper.
Notes
Owner notification began August 28, 2000.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Transcraft 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.

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