- Summary
- On certain pneumatic trailers equipped with optional aluminum front end frames, a crack can develop near a weld in the front end frame.
- Consequence
- Over time, the crack can propagate through one of the front frame rails eventually causing failure of the rail, which would result in excessive deflection of the front frame, and possibly result in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and repair the cracked frames or replace the frame if necessary free of charge. The recall began on may 25, 2007. Owners may contact polar at 1-800-826-6589.

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