Home › Cars & vehicles › Strick Trailers, LLC — Rear Impact Guard…
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If the trailer is rear ended by a automobile, the guard may fail to prevent the automobile from traveling under the trailer, increasing the risk of injury to the driver of the automobile.
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.
