2017–2018 Hyundai Translead Duralite HT recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Hyundai Translead is recalling certain 2017-2018 Duralite HT Flatbed trailers with bulkheads. The brackets on the sill may break away from the flatbed, possibly resulting in the bulkhead detaching from the trailer.
💥 The risk
If the bulkhead brackets fail, the bulkhead can fall off of the trailer and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Hyundai Translead will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the front area of the flatbed, free of charge. The recall began September 24, 2019. Owners may contact Hyundai Translead customer service at 1-800-251-0871. Hyundai Translead's number for this recall is 801440.
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.)
