NHTSA Recall 22V518000
Filed by Cheetah Chassis Corporation. Component: Equipment. Reported 2022-07-21. An estimated 466 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
Cheetah Chassis Corporation (Cheetah) is recalling certain 2023 7400GNFF0, 7235SNFSX, and 8400GNFF0 trailers. The Tandemloc twist lock handles may separate from the trailer and fall to the ground.
Risk
A lock that detaches and falls can become a road hazard. In addition, this may cause a container being transported to become unsecured. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
What the manufacturer will do
Dealers will inspect and repair affected handles, and replace any lock assemblies that are missing, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed in July 2022. Owners may contact Cheetah's customer service at 844-205-5525.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
