STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
- The defect
- Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company (Utility Trailer) is recalling certain 2022 VS2RA trailers. The incorrect tape was installed on the top foil, which could result in the sealer plate separating from the roof.
- What it can cause
- A separated sealer plate can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the adhesive, and replace it if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 2, 2021. Owners may contact Utility Trailer's customer service at 1-800-423-6591. Utility Trailer's number for this recall is SB-19-009.
- 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 260 vehicles this is a small campaign: 57% 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 one model year, 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.
Utility vehicles have been recalled over the structure once before this, most recently in July 2014 as 14V463000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company with NHTSA on August 31, 2021 as campaign 21V676000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
