2017 Utility Flatbed Trailers recalls

Recall 16V-674: Equipment

Reported Sep 19, 2016 · 66 vehicles affected · Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company

Problem: Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company (Utility) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Flatbed trailers, model FS2CHA, manufactured January 1, 2015, to September 16, 2016, equipped with certain Conestoga XP sliding trailer tarping systems with RAD-style rear closures. In the affected trailers, the rear aerodynamic device (RAD) may separate from the rear of the tarping system, due to rivet failure.

Risk: If the RAD detaches from the trailer it may be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Utility will notify owners, and dealers will replace the mounting rivets with a bolted connection, free of charge. The recall began on September 20, 2016. Owners may contact Utility customer service at 1-818-965-1541.
