2003–2004 Reinke Intermodal Tank Chassis recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Reinke is recalling 10 my 2003-2004 Intermodal Tank Chassis frames. On certain Chassis frames, the lower flange(s) of the frame CAN develop a small fatigue crack in front of or behind the front suspension hanger.
💥 The risk
These small cracks CAN, in some cases, further develop whereby in certain applications the lower flange(s) may fail, increasing the risk of a crash without prior warning.

Reinke will inspect and repair the Chassis frame flange(s) free of charge at a designated repair facility. The recall began on december 1, 2008. Owners may contact reinke at 1-877-762-1001.
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.)
