2000 Transcraft Eagle recalls

Recall 00V-221: Structure

Reported Aug 14, 2000 · 1,236 vehicles affected · TRANSCRAFT CORPORATION

Problem: Vehicle description: flatbed trailers. The wrong material specification was furnished for the vertical gussets of the bumper. This would allow the bumper to fail by folding under the trailer at lower impact forces than allowed. These bumpers do not meet the requirements of FMVSS no. 223, "rear impact guards."

Risk: Failure of the rear bumper could allow vehicles involved in front end collision with the rear end of the trailer to run under the rear end of the trailer causing vehicle damage to the trailer/vehicle and could result in bodily injury to vehicle occupants.

Fix: Dealers will add two steel bars to the vertical gussets of the rear bumper.

The frame is warrantied for five years, but if you dont see the cracks in time and excessive damage is done, transcraft will not cover all damage under warranty. Since this is a safety concern, there should have been a vol. Recall on…
