September 20, 2023 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 23V646000
Reduced Rear Impact Guard Protection/FMVSS 224
In the event of a rear impact crash, the rear impact guard may not sufficiently protect light duty vehicles, increasing the risk of injury.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V646
Manufacturer Wabash National Corporation
Components STRUCTURE
Potential Number of Units Affected 3,448
Summary
Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2009-2024 dry van trailers equipped with a rail-style lift gate. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models. The location of the rear impact guard is too far forward from the rear of the trailer, reducing impact protection.

Remedy
Dealers will add an extension to the rear impact guard, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 17, 2023. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404.
