Summary: On certain 'rock pup' 3 axle trailers with 16' dump boxes, cracks can develop in the welds which hold the 'nose' of the frame to the main chassis. The 16' box mount causes a steel frame plate to be shortened causing a reduction in strength.
Consequence: The chassis and box can separate from the drawbar causing a loss of control which could result in a crash.
Remedy: Trailer owners will inspect the welds where the sloped frame 'nose' welds to the horizontal main frame rails. If cracks are found, a frame update kit will be sent to the owners to have the repairs performed locally. The recall began on decemer 20, 2007. Owners may contat truck equipment at 1-402-476-3225.

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