2014–2016 Fontaine Revolution recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Fontaine Trailer Company (Fontaine) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Revolution flat trailers manufactured September 30, 2013, to September 28, 2015. The affected trailers have welds that may crack where the structural support member attaches to the frame hanger.
💥 The risk
If the welds crack, the structural member may also crack and the structural support member may separate from the frame hanger resulting in a failure of the slider box, which could increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Fontaine will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailers and repair any cracks, as necessary. Additional reinforcing components will also be added. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2015. Owners may contact Fontaine customer service at 1-205-485-1300. Fontaine's name for this recall is "Slider Enhancement."
