What’s wrong with it?
The incorrect guard may not sufficiently protect a following vehicle during a rear end crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Stepdeck trailers.
The incorrect rear impact guard may have been installed.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 223, “Rear Impact Guards” and 224, “Rear Impact Protection.”

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
