What's wrong?
The top foil on the 2022 Utility Trailer is an aero device mounted at the roof area of the trailer. It helps manage airflow over the trailer, and its attachment depends on the correct tape and sealing hardware staying bonded to the roof structure.
On the recalled trailers, the factory installed the wrong tape on the top foil. The recalled part was built with gray tape instead of the correct black tape. Because that tape does not match the intended build, the sealer plate can separate from the roof while the trailer is in service.
The visible warning sign is the tape color on the top foil. Gray tape identifies the recalled build, while the correct top foil uses black tape.

What's the safety risk?
If the sealer plate separates, it can become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash. If you see gray tape instead of the correct black tape on the top foil, schedule the inspection soon and limit use until the dealer checks it. Repair is free at any franchised Utility dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Utility Utility Trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Utility dealer to schedule the free adhesive inspection and replacement that keeps the sealer plate attached to the roof.
- Bring the recall notice Utility mailed, or reference recall number 21V676 when you call.
- Avoid hauling with the trailer if the roof sealer plate is loose or separated; a separated plate can become a road hazard.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Utility technician inspects the roof sealer plate adhesive and replaces the adhesive if the inspection shows the incorrect tape affected the bond. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Utility has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign, so owners who already paid for a related adhesive or roof sealer plate repair can ask Utility customer service how to submit documented expenses under that plan.
