Novae Sure Trac Recall 15V083: Dump Bed May Collapse During Use, Risking Injury

NHTSA campaign 15V083, reported February 11, 2015, 95 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

This recall covers certain 2015 Sure-Trac Single Ram SD dump trailers built between September 10, 2014, and November 15, 2014. The hydraulic cylinder lift ram mount that attaches to the dump bed may fail because it is too thin.

If the mount fails, the dump bed could collapse while the trailer is in use, which increases the risk of personal injury. Owners should stop using the trailer's dump function until the repair is completed.

Novae will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install a hydraulic cylinder lift ram mount reinforcement kit at no cost. Owners can contact Novae customer service at 1-260-758-9838, and should check their VIN for any open recalls.
