Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company
NHTSA Campaign: 16V674000 SAFETY RECALL
66 Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Sep 19, 2016
Safety Issue:

Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company (Utility) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Flatbed trailers, model FS2CHA, manufactured January 1, 2015, to September 16, 2016, equipped with certain Conestoga XP sliding trailer tarping systems with RAD-style rear closures. In the affected trailers, the rear aerodynamic device (RAD) may separate from the rear of the tarping system, due to rivet failure.

Potential Risk:
If the RAD detaches from the trailer it may be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
