The short answer

NHTSA received TRUCK EQUIPMENT SERVICE COMPANY’s report on Dec 18, 2007. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 26, 2026.

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

What’s wrong with it?

THE CHASSIS AND BOX CAN SEPARATE FROM THE DRAWBAR CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

ON CERTAIN ‘ROCK PUP’ 3 AXLE TRAILERS WITH 16’ DUMP BOXES, CRACKS CAN DEVELOP IN THE WELDS WHICH HOLD THE ‘NOSE’ OF THE FRAME TO THE MAIN CHASSIS.

THE 16’ BOX MOUNT CAUSES A STEEL FRAME PLATE TO BE SHORTENED CAUSING A REDUCTION IN STRENGTH.

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.
