Recall Notice

Recall #RT-0001: Ranger Trail Fender Spacing

Condition: Fenders may not have adequate spacing for tire clearance

Models Affected: 2022 Ranger single axle deep-v and mod-v trailers

Time Allowed: 15 Minutes

 

Recall Information

DESCRIPTION OF CONCERN:

The fenders on affected units may not have adequate spacing to allow for tire clearance.

 

REQUIRED PART NUMBER: N/A

 

VERIFICATION PROCESS:

Reference the affected units and check spacing on fenders per attached instructions.

 

CORRECTIVE ACTION:

If fenders are outside of the specifications indicated in the attached instructions, adjust the spacing to meet specifications. Once completed, file a warranty claim for the labor.

 

FENDER ADJUSTMENTS FOR RT & VS SINGLE AXLE MODELS

Tools needed:

QTY:2 – 9/16 wrenches

An item to measure ยพโ€ for proper spacing (3/4โ€ thick piece of wood).

 

Using a ยพโ€ block (or what you have available that is ยพโ€ thick); place it between the back side of tire and the inside of the fender pad to verify if there is adequate spacing. If the block fits as seen, then there is adequate spacing and no adjustment is required. If it does not fit, continue further in the instructions.

 

Loosen the 4 fender bolts attaching the fender to the front and rear box. These will only need slightly loosened as the intent is to slide the fender inward to create more room for the tire. Push the fender inward as far as it will go.

 

After making these adjustments, ensure the fender is level and then tighten the 4 fender bolts which were loosened earlier.

 


Chronology :

We had a customer report a rubbing tire which prompted further review on 11-1-2021. After further review, an additional stock trailer was found to have the same condition. We have opted to recall the trailers due to safety concerns.
