What is wrong
Strehl, LLC (Strehl) is recalling certain TrailerBlade Fleet trailer skirts, part number 404000. The mounting brackets may separate from the skirt panels.

Strehl will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brackets and install a supplemental safety cable on each bracket. If cracks are detected, the brackets will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 19, 2018. Owners may contact Strehl customer service at 1-844-462-5233.
