SUSPENSION:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- ST Engineering Hackney, Inc. (STE Hackney) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Kidron refrigerated trailers. The suspension pivot bolt may not have been properly tightened during the alignment process on certain Hendrickson suspensions with Quick-Align systems.
- What it can cause
- Improperly tightened pivot bolts may fail, causing the suspension and the attached axle to separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, tighten the suspension pivot bolt, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 1, 2023. Owners may contact STE Hackney customer service at 1-252-946-6521.
- 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 120 vehicles this is a small campaign: 68% 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 model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Kidron vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 2 times before this, most recently in April 2008 as 08V168000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V359000 (wheels), 23V492000 (tires).
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 ST Engineering Hackney, Inc with NHTSA on May 24, 2023 as campaign 23V363000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
