- The defect
- Ox Bodies, Inc. (Ox Bodies) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Stampede, Maverick, Chisholm, Trash Body, Flat Dump, Stock Yard, Load King, Aluminum, Chipper, Chisholm Lite, Frontier, and Trailmaker dump bodies. The weld in the rear hinge assemblies of the dump bodies may be insufficient.
- What it can cause
- An insufficient weld may cause the rear hinge assembly to fail, increasing the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Ox Bodies will repair the rear hinge assembly welds, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 15, 2022. Owners may contact Ox Bodies' customer service at 1-205-932-5720.
- 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 4,696 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 74% of the 15,948 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
OX Bodies vehicles have been recalled over the structure once before this, most recently in June 2004 as 04V292000. 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 Ox Bodies, Inc. with NHTSA on May 27, 2022 as campaign 22V386000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
