STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
- The defect
- Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2021 Quest and Raven trailers equipped with a spring-assist ramp door assembly. The fastener used to secure the spring-assist ramp door cables may be the incorrect type and over-tightened, which could cause the cable bushings to fail.
- What it can cause
- Cable bushing failure may cause the cables to retract forcefully, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- ATC will supply new materials and work instructions to replace the existing ramp door cable fastener assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 14, 2022. Owners may contact ATC customer service at 1-877-441-2440, ext. 342.
- 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 461 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% 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, 2021, 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: 23V103000 (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 Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) with NHTSA on November 19, 2021 as campaign 21V902000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
