2014–2023 Abs Remorques Lrc, Abs Remorques Lwc, Abs Remorques RC +more: Trailer Hitches recall
NHTSA campaign 23V005000 · 34 units potentially affected · filed Jan 13, 2023
What's wrong
ABS Remorques (ABS) is recalling certain 2014-2023 RC, WC, LRC, and LWC semi-trailers. The coupling plate may deteriorate, resulting in failure of the king pin and trailer detachment.
Why it matters
A detached trailer cannot be controlled and may overturn or obstruct the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Semi-trailer owners are advised to inspect for any coupling plate or king pin damage prior to operation. If damage is found, owners should not operate the trailer until it has been repaired. ABS authorized service facilities will replace the coupling plates, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 2, 2023. Owners may contact ABS customer service at 819-879-6216.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
