STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
- The defect
- Fabform Industries, INC. (Fabform) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Versatile FLR-D, FLRR-D, and DBX trailers. The rubber stop on the utility gate may break, and allow the gate to detach from the trailer.
- What it can cause
- A gate that detaches while driving can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the rubber stopper with an aluminum bushing, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Fabform's customer service at 1-541-679-2920.
- 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 1,515 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 63% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Fabform vehicles have been recalled over the structure 2 times before this, most recently in September 2018 as 18V590000. 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 Fabform Industries, INC. with NHTSA on June 21, 2022 as campaign 22V440000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
