Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

ST Engineering Hackney, Inc. is recalling approximately 120 Kidron refrigerated trailers from the 2021-2023 model years. On these trailers equipped with Hendrickson suspensions and Quick-Align systems, the suspension pivot bolt may not have been properly tightened during the alignment process. To fix this safety issue, dealers will inspect and tighten the suspension pivot bolt free of charge.

Risk

If the pivot bolt is not tightened correctly, it can fail and cause the suspension and the attached axle to completely separate from the trailer. This loss of structural integrity significantly increases the risk of a crash while the vehicle is in motion.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you own a 2021-2023 Kidron refrigerated trailer equipped with Hendrickson suspensions and the Quick-Align system.
  2. Contact ST Engineering Hackney (STE Hackney) customer service at 1-252-946-6521 to schedule a free inspection.
  3. Bring your trailer to an authorized dealer who will inspect the suspension pivot bolt and tighten it to the correct specification if necessary at no cost to you.
  4. If you have additional questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
