SuspensionRecall 13V-455 · Rolligon vehicles
NOV Rolligon recall 13V-455 covers 31 Rolligon vehicles for a suspension problem, reported to NHTSA on September 18, 2013.
Source: NHTSA recall 13V455000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
NOV Rolligon is recalling certain model year 2011 HT-180, model year 2012 MT-1060-HR and TPT-1202-T twin pump, and model year 2011-2012 MT-1060 and Hydration trailers. The affected vehicles have a missing weld on the rear trailer suspension at the rear side of the hanger.
The risk
The missing weld could stress the existing welds, resulting in a separation of the hanger from the trailer flange surface. Separation of the hanger may cause the trailer to suddenly pull to one side or the load to shift, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
NOV Rolligon will notify owners and arrange inspection and necessary weld repairs of each suspension assembly, free of charge. The recall began on September 27, 2013. Owners may contact NOV Rolligon at 1-936-873-2600.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
