What's wrong?

The adjustable wheel stop on a 2016-2021 Transcraft Platform Trailer is part of the fork lift kit. It is a metal stop mounted to the trailer structure to help hold the carried fork lift in position when the trailer is loaded, parked, or moving. The stop depends on its welds and mounting points staying attached to the floor crossmembers and fork lift mounting tube.

On affected trailers, the weld attachment between the wheel stop mounts, the floor crossmembers, and the fork lift mounting tube is not strong enough. Normal vibration and load movement can fatigue the welded area, which means the metal weakens from repeated stress. Once that attachment separates, the adjustable wheel stop can detach from the trailer.

There is no warning sign before failure. The filing says there are no indications of this condition, so an owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a clear early signal before the wheel stop separates.

What's the safety risk?

A wheel stop that detaches while the trailer is parked and in use increases the risk of crash or injury. There is no warning sign before this condition, so keep people clear of the wheel stop area and arrange the inspection and repair promptly. Repair is free at any franchised Transcraft dealer.

What should I do?

  2. Contact a franchised Transcraft dealer or Transcraft customer service to schedule the free wheel-stop inspection and repair that secures the adjustable wheel stops.
  3. Reference recall number 20V680 and Transcraft recall B20016 when you call.
  4. Bring the recall notice if Transcraft mailed one, or bring the VIN and trailer information to the appointment.
  5. Avoid using the forklift kit and adjustable wheel stops until the wheel-stop assemblies are inspected and repaired.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Transcraft technician inspects the adjustable wheel stop assemblies on the affected fork lift kit and repairs the assemblies as needed. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. If you already paid out of pocket for a related wheel stop repair before the recall notice, Transcraft's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses.
