Wabash National recall: Trailer hitches
What is wrong
Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2024 DVDBHPC and DVCVHPC dry van trailers. The king pin was not welded properly, which can result in the king pin detaching within the upper coupler.
What could happen
Unintentional movement of a detached king pin may cause a loss of trailer control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the upper coupler assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 18, 2023. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404. Wabash National Corporation's number for this recall is B23002.
