Strick Trailer: Structure
Affects Strick Trailer · 2009–2014 — about 145 vehicles.
The hazard
Certain trailers may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 223 - Rear Impact Guards. On certain tandem and tri-axle 53 foot van trailers equipped with pintle hooks, the rear impact guard may not meet the minimum load requirement of the standard. This could increase the risk of injury in the event of a rear impact crash. Correction: Dealers will install replacement rear impact guard gussets for affected units.
