Jet Co recall: Structure
What is wrong
Jet Company, In. (Jet Co) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 38, 40, and 42-foot Aluminum Grain Trailers, manufactured January 22, 2010 through November 30, 2011 and equipped with a 6061-T6 aluminum extrusion 2x5 top tube. The top rail on the sides of the trailer may be too weak to prevent the trailer from buckling.
What could happen
If the trailer buckles, a loss of control may result, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Jet Co will notify owners, and dealers will measure the strength of the top rail, adding an aluminum reinforcement, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 19, 2015. Owners may contact Jet Co. customer service at 1-515-332-3117. Note: This recall is an expansion of 13V-582.
