Summary: On certain combination steel/aluminum flatbed, dropdeck, and aluminum flatbed trailers equipped with mounted toolboxes, each toolbox is attached to the trailer with a mounting system that includes two aluminum brackets which may have developed fatigue cracks along the bend radius lines. Small cracks may further develop based on trailer usage. The bracket may break causing the toolbox to separate from the trailer.
Consequence: If the toolbox separates from the trailer while the trailer is in motion, vehicles on the road are at risk of collision with the toolbox and its contents.
Remedy: Reinke will locate a certified welder for owners of the affected trailers to have the remedy performed. Reinke is providing the aluminum gussets along with detailed instructions for the welder. The recall began on June 22, 2006. Owners may contact reinke at 1-877-762-1001.

Has your Reinke 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 Reinke dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
