The short answer

NHTSA received EAST MANUFACTURING CORP.’s report on Sep 11, 2002. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

IF THAT INACCURATE INFORMATION IS RELIED UPON BY THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, THEN EXTRA WEIGHT LOADED ONTO A VEHICLE COULD AFFECT THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE.

CERTAIN FLATBED, DUMP, TRUCK DOLLY, UNLOADER, FRAMELESS, AND PUP TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, “AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS.” THESE VEHICLES HAVE INACCURATE WEIGHT-RELATED INFORMATION ON THE CERTIFICATION LABELS.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
