Summary
On certain frameless, quarter-frame and end dump trailers, small outer bushings (left and right) on the coupler plate have cracked which allows the pin that attaches the draft arms to the coupler plate to slip out.
Consequence
The trailer could turn over while dumping or even become disconnected from the truck when driving. Serious injury or a fatality to the operator, bystanders or other motorists could occur.
Remedy
Dealers will add an upper and a lower reinforcing plate and inspect for cracks free of charge. Travis is in the process of contacting customers by telephone immediately with explanation of the recall campaign. A written owner notification letter will follow. The recall began on January 3, 2006. Owners may contact travis at 800-535-4372.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

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 Travis 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 Travis dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
