2013–2014 Hackney Beverage Trailer recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
VT Hackney, Inc. (VT Hackney) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Side Loading Beverage Trailers manufactured December 5, 2013, to April 5, 2014, and equipped with certain SAF-Holland-brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems. The affected trailer suspensions have pivot bolts that may fail.
💥 The risk
Failure of the pivot bolts may cause the suspension and attached axle to separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
VT Hackney will notify owners, and dealers will replace the pivot bolts, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in September 2014. Owners may contact VT Hackney customer service at 1-800-763-0700. VT Hackney's number for this recall is 14E-024.
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.)
