Recall 23V767 affects 320 2022-2023 Pratt Intermodal Chassis GN30402-EC-6P trailers for mid-beam cracking. Inspection and repair are free through Pratt Intermodal Chassis.
Pratt Intermodal Chassis is recalling 320 2022-2023 GN30402-EC-6P container chassis trailers because the mid-beam can bend or crack when the chassis is fully loaded in the 20-foot configuration or when the container is overloaded. A bent or cracked mid-beam can let the load separate or lead to complete trailer failure, increasing crash or injury risk; Pratt Intermodal Chassis dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?
The inner beam on a 2022-2023 Pratt Intermodal Chassis GN30402-EC-6P container chassis trailer is part of the front frame assembly. It helps carry the container load through the chassis, including the area between the front gooseneck section and the mid-rail. In normal use, that beam keeps the frame straight while the trailer supports a container in the 20-foot or 40-foot configuration.
The failure condition appears when the chassis is set up for a 20-foot container. Under a fully loaded or overloaded 20-foot container, the load is concentrated in a way that bends or cracks the mid-beam. Pratt Intermodal Chassis says the same issue is not present in the 40-foot configuration because the load is spread across the full chassis.
An owner or operator can see the warning sign before another failure occurs. Frame bending is visibly evident, and any crack in the mid-beam is also visible during inspection.

What's the safety risk?
A cracked or bent mid-beam can let the load separate or lead to complete trailer failure, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Inspect for visible frame bending or cracks before use, and keep the trailer out of service if damage is present. Repair is free at any franchised Pratt Intermodal Chassis dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Pratt Intermodal Chassis GN30402-EC-6P is included in this recall.
- Contact Pratt Intermodal Chassis customer service at 1-269-262-0933 to schedule the free mid-beam inspection and 40-foot-position modification that addresses bending or cracking in the 20-foot configuration.
- Bring the recall notice if Pratt Intermodal Chassis mailed one. Reference recall number 23V767 and Pratt recall 2023-00001 when you call.
- Avoid using the chassis in a fully loaded or overloaded 20-foot configuration until the inspection and repair are complete.
- Stop using the trailer if the inspection finds cracks, because Pratt Intermodal Chassis says a cracked trailer cannot be used.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Pratt Intermodal Chassis technician inspects the chassis mid-beam for cracks. If no cracks are found, the technician modifies the chassis so it can be used in the 40-foot position. If cracks are found, the trailer cannot be used until Pratt gives repair direction. The inspection, modification, and related repair work are free under the recall. Pratt's reimbursement plan covered owner-paid repairs on included VINs before the recall notice, with paid invoices or receipts and the applicable VIN required for a claim. That submission period ran through March 15, 2024.
