LDJ Manufacturing, Inc. — Chassis and Upfit Rubber Adhesive May Fail
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
The movement of the chassis and load could cause bolts securing the tank to the chassis to shear, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What to do
LDJ will notify owners, and dealers will install aluminum brackets around the rubber filler between the chassis and the upfit to secure the rubber filler in place. Additionally, dealers will install nuts with locking washers on the upfitted load in order to further secure the load to the upfit. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began May 5, 2020. Owners may contact LDJ customer service at 1-641-620-9412.
