Recall 14V011 affects 64 2012-2014 Corn Pro Deckover Flatbed Trailer vehicles for tail pivot box defects. Repair is free at any franchised Corn Pro dealer.
Corn Pro is recalling 64 2012-2014 Deckover Flatbed Trailer units equipped with a ten foot hydraulic dovetail because the welded pivot boxes for the tail can fail. A failed box leaves the hydraulic cylinders holding the tail; if those cylinders fail, the tail can separate from the trailer and raise accident risk, and the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The hydraulic dovetail on a 2012-2014 Corn Pro Deckover Flatbed Trailer is the rear tail section that lowers for loading and raises back into travel position. A hydraulic system moves that tail, but the tail still needs a solid pivot point. On these trailers, welded boxes in the structure let the tail rotate as it moves.
The problem is in those welded pivot boxes. If a box or its weld gives way, the tail loses the fixed hinge point it needs to move and stay supported. The recall covers trailers equipped with the ten-foot hydraulic dovetail, where that pivot structure can fail during use.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a sound, a visible bend, or a change in hydraulic movement to tell you the welded boxes are about to give way.
Who's affected?

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the boxes that support the trailer tail fail, only the hydraulic cylinders remain to hold the tail to the main trailer body. If those cylinders fail too, the tail can detach and increase the risk of an accident. Schedule the inspection and repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Corn Pro dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012-2014 Corn Pro Deckover Flatbed Trailer is included in this recall.

- Ask a franchised Corn Pro dealer to inspect the hydraulic-dovetail pivot boxes and re-weld them if needed so the tail stays secured to the trailer.
