2018 Wabash National Van recalls
Recall 23V-646: Structure
Problem: Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2009-2024 dry van trailers equipped with a rail-style lift gate. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models. The location of the rear impact guard is too far forward from the rear of the trailer, reducing impact protection. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 224, "Rear Impact Protection."
Risk: In the event of a rear impact crash, the rear impact guard may not sufficiently protect light duty vehicles, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Dealers will add an extension to the rear impact guard, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 4, 2023. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404. Wabash's number for this recall is B23015.
Recall 21V-588: Fuel System, Gasoline
Problem: Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Van Trailers. The fuel tank brackets may detach.
Risk: Detached fuel tank brackets could allow the fuel tank to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Fix: Dealers will add an aluminum plate and 4 fasteners to each bracket, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 18, 2021. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404. Wabash's number for this recall is B21012.
Recall 18V-808: Structure
Problem: Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Wabash National Van trailers equipped with limb deflectors. The limb deflectors installed on the upper rear corner of the trailers may detach while moving.
Risk: If the limb deflectors detach, it can increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will remove the limb deflectors, free of charge. The recall began November 30, 2018. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404. Wabash's number for this recall is LEG201803.
Recall 17V-633: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2018 Van trailers manufactured with MPA/MTA suspensions equipped with Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on these axles may not be properly torqued which can allow the caliper to detach from the mounting flange. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper detaches from the mounting flange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the bolts, replacing any loose or missing ones, free of charge. The recall began on November 14, 2017. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5300.
