Summary
On certain flatbed utility trailers, there is an insufficient weld of the ramp hanger pockets that store the ramps when not in use on the left and right underside of the trailer bed. If the weld is insufficient, it could cause the ramp hanger pocket to detach, dropping the ramp to the ground or roadway.
Consequence
A failure of the ramp hanger pockets could result in accidental damage to include personal injury, property damage or both.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and add two 'hat brackets' (one under each hanger pocket) by bolting the bracket to the underside of each affected trailer to further secure the ramp pockets. The recall began on August 15, 2007. Owners may contact big tex trailers at 1-800-594-5637.

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 BIG TEX 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 BIG TEX dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
