MORryde RTPB77-004 through RTPB77-013, RTPB77-015, & RTPB77-016 Wedges for Rotating Pin Boxes
Dear MORryde Wedge Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
MORryde has decided a potential safety concern exists with the wedges listed above for vehicles manufactured between 4/30/18 and 7/16/19. It has been determined that wedges in this recall population may have been packaged with improper length bolts.
REASON FOR RECALL: The bolts are used to hold the wedge to the rotating pin box and may be too long or too short. If the rotating pin box is unlocked and allowed to rotate and the wedge is installed with improper length bolts, the wedge may become disconnected from the pin box. This would allow the rotating pin box to pivot in two places which could allow the trailer to come in contact with the truck, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY FOR RECALL: The bolt will be inspected and replaced if necessary, at no cost to the owner. The remedy will take 15 minutes.
If after having attempted to take advantage of this recall you believe you have not been able to have your defective part remedied without charge and within a reasonable amount of time, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590 or call the toll-free vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to https://www.safercar.gov.
We apologize for any inconvenience this safety recall may cause, but your safety is our first concern.

Subject: Orbital/You Turn Rotating Pin Box Wedge Safety Recall – 2nd recall
Attachments: Keystone Auto.xlsx; Keystone Auto Notification.pdf
Jaime,
MORryde is issuing a safety recall for the Wedge kit for Orbital Rotating Pin Box / You Turn Rotating Pin Box. We’ve
found that there’s the potential of an incorrect bolt length being shipped with the wedge kit. The bolts are used to hold
the wedge to the rotating pin box and may be the incorrect length. If the rotating pin box is unlocked and allowed to
rotate and the wedge is installed with improper length bolts, the wedge may become disconnected from the pin
box. This would allow the rotating pin box to pivot in two places which could allow the trailer to come in contact with
the truck or cause personal and/or property damage. The production dates affected by this recall are 4/30/2018 –
7/16/2019 and the purchase orders that affect you are attached.
Please let me know if any of the inventory is still at your warehouse or if it’s been sold to a dealer. If sold to a dealer,
please provide the dealer information so we can get the retail information to send out the safety recall notice. If
inventory is still at your warehouse, we’ll issue an RGA to bring back the recalled part for inspection, fix if needed and
return back to you. Thank you so much for your assistance in this matter. We’re submitting recall instructions to NHTSA
and once approved, we’ll forward them on.
