2008 Wilson Livestock Trailer recalls

Recall 13V-034: Equipment

Reported Jan 30, 2013 · 556 vehicles affected · WILSON TRAILER COMPANY

Problem: Wilson Trailer Company (Wilson Trailer) is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 livestock trailers manufactured from January 2, 2007, through November 30, 2012, and equipped with a lift deck in the nose compartment. The plastic deck guides on the lift deck in the nose compartment can fail to provide proper tracking of the deck when it is raised and lowered.

Risk: Failure of these guides to provide containment could allow the lift deck to shift to one side causing the deck to fall past the permanent deck support rails, increasing the risk of damage to property inside the trailer.

Fix: Wilson Trailer will notify owners, and dealers will repair the trailers free of charge. The recall began on February 21, 2013. Owners may contact Wilson Trailer at 1-800-798-2002.
