2006–2007 Wilson Grain Trailer recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain Grain trailers, a fatigue failure (cracking) of the aluminum angle behind the king pin support beam CAN occur causing distortion of the bottom rail and compromising the king pin assembly.
💥 The risk
If the angle fails by way of cracking or deformation, the bottom rail of the Trailer, which supports the beam, could be affected and compromise the strength of the king pin assembly, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the area of concern, make necessary repairs, and install a support plate to strengthen the angle. The recall began on october 5, 2006. Owners may contact wilson at 1-800-798-2002.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
