2025–2026 Wabash Stepdeck recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Stepdeck trailers. The incorrect rear impact guard may have been installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 223, "Rear Impact Guards."
💥 The risk
The incorrect guard may not sufficiently protect a following vehicle during a rear end crash, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Wabash will replace the rear impact guards, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 2, 2026. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404.
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.)
