Summary

Timpte, Inc. is recalling 34 of its 2024-2025 Timpte 1420 and 1424 deck trailers because the bolts holding the ramp retaining rods may not have been tightened properly. These improperly secured bolts can fall off while the trailer is in use or being loaded, causing the folding ramp to become unsecured. Owners are advised to contact Timpte customer service for a free inspection and hardware installation by a dealer.

Risk

If the retaining rod bolts fall off, the folding ramp may suddenly become loose or detached, which increases the risk of injury to operators or bystanders during loading or transport.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your trailer's model and year to see if it is a 2024-2025 Timpte 1420 or Timpte 1424 deck trailer.
  2. If you own an affected trailer, contact Timpte customer service at 1-402-367-3056 to schedule a free inspection and repair. Mention recall number 71-14KDO Bolt Recall when calling.
  3. Take your trailer to an authorized dealer who will inspect the folding ramp hardware and install new, properly tightened hardware if necessary, at no cost to you.
  4. For additional information or questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
