Has your Weld-IT 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 Weld-IT dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

1998 Weld-IT Trailer recalls, newest first

November 30, 2005NHTSA 05V54500089 vehicles potentially affected

Suspension

Summary
On certain full trailers (tankers) equipped with tuthill trailer suspensions, models 20/22AR. The beam/axle pivot connection joint is mis-aligned causing excessive play with the trailer allowing the trailer to wander.
Consequence
A vehicle crash can occur should the trailer wander without notice.
Remedy
Weld-it is working with tuthill to notify the owners of the affected vehicles and provide free remedy. Owners may contact tuthill at 800-753-0025 or weld-it at 1-323-262-2000.

Service brakes, air › Supply › Check valve

Summary
On certain trailers equipped with spring brake control valve assemblies. There is a recessed area on top of the valve in which a brass guide pin fits down inside the body of the valve and is held in place by a steel snap ring. The recessed area allows accumulation of water, dirt, and/or chemicals to build up behind the snap ring to the point where it will no longer contain the guide pin resulting in a failure of the air valve.
Consequence
Failure of the valve in an empty or lightly loaded trailer while the vehicle is in motion could result in a hard application of the spring brakes, possibly locking up the trailer wheels and resulting in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Sealco will provide a repair kit and installation instructions to its customers free of charge. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact sealco at 602-253-1007 or weld-it at 213-263-7524.
