2023 Polar Tank Trailer SCX9: Equipment recall

What's wrong

Entrans International, LLC (Entrans) is recalling certain 2023 Polar Tank SCX9 trailers. The trailers may have been produced without a rear impact guard certification plate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 223, "Rear Impact Guards" and 224, "Rear Impact Protection."

Why it matters

Rear impact guards with missing plates may not be identified in the event of a safety recall, potentially resulting in an un-remedied safety issue and an increased risk of a crash or injury.

The fix

Entrans will provide corrected certification labels, free of charge. The only affected dealer was notified September 28, 2023. Owners may contact Entrans customer service at 1-320-746-2255.

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.
