STRUCTURE
- The defect
- LDJ Manufacturing, Inc. (LDJ) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Thunder Creek Multi-Tank Upfit vehicles. The adhesive that secures the rubber filler in the place between the chassis and the upfit could fail, potentially causing the rubber to come out of place and cause movement of the upfit and load.
- What it can cause
- The movement of the chassis and load could cause bolts securing the tank to the chassis to shear, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- LDJ will notify owners, and dealers will install aluminum brackets around the rubber filler between the chassis and the upfit to secure the rubber filler in place. Additionally, dealers will install nuts with locking washers on the upfitted load in order to further secure the load to the upfit. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began May 5, 2020. Owners may contact LDJ customer service at 1-641-620-9412.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 17 vehicles this is a small campaign: 88% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
