EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Bwise Manufacturing (Bwise) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Utility, Car Hauler, Dump, Tilt and Equipment trailers equipped with Wallace Forge medium-duty adjustable mount couplers. The coupler may experience excessive play due to a missing .750" radius piece.
- What it can cause
- Excessive play of the mount coupler can cause the trailer to uncouple, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the coupler, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 10, 2021. Owners may contact Bwise's customer service at 1-717-261-0922.
- 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.nhtsa.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 2,786 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 69% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V587000 (equipment).
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.
Filed by Bwise Manufacturing with NHTSA on July 1, 2021 as campaign 21V505000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
