What this recall means for you
The rear impact guard on certain Drywall Pup trailers does not extend within 4 inches of the side of the trailer, so the trailer does not meet federal rear impact protection requirements (FMVSS 224).
If the rear impact guard is not the required length, it can increase the risk of injury in a crash involving the rear of the trailer. Owners should check whether their trailer is covered by this recall.
