TRAILER HITCHES
- The defect
- Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2024 DVDBHPC and DVCVHPC dry van trailers. The king pin was not welded properly, which can result in the king pin detaching within the upper coupler.
- What it can cause
- Unintentional movement of a detached king pin may cause a loss of trailer control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the upper coupler assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 18, 2023. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404. Wabash National Corporation's number for this recall is B23002.
- 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 40 vehicles this is a small campaign: 80% 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, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
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 Wabash National Corporation with NHTSA on May 30, 2023 as campaign 23V383000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
