What's wrong

The problem

Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain model year 2013 Van trailers manufactured September 20, 2013, to November 30, 2013, equipped with certain 2013 Pivot Bolts Part Number 93201070 manufactured by SAF-Holland. The affected pivot bolts are susceptible to cracking.

The risk

In the event that both sides of the pivot connection crack, it could cause a separation of the axle/suspension assembly from the trailer, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
