On certain semi-trailers, the lower side rail (a critical structural member that carries the trailer and cargo loads) could develop fatigue cracks and fail. This could allow the trailer to collapse, which could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace two structural crossmembers.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2013035.
