Tremcar rear impact guards on these vehicles were manufactured with aluminum alloy of insufficient strength.
The short version
Tremcar reported a problem with the structure. Here is what owners need to know.
The rear impact guards on these vehicles were manufactured with aluminum alloy of insufficient strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 223, "Rear Impact Guards."
These rear impact guards may not adequately reduce the possibility of a car traveling under the trailer in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the car driver.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the rear impact guards, free of charge.
