- The defect
- Timpte, Inc. (Timpte) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Timpte 1420 and 1424 deck trailers. The retaining rod bolts may have been improperly tightened and can fall off, resulting in the folding ramp not being secured.
- What it can cause
- An unsecured ramp can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and install new hardware as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 13, 2024. Owners may contact Timpte customer service at 1-402-367-3056. Timpte's number for this recall is 71-14KDO Bolt Recall.
- 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.safercar.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 34 vehicles this is a small campaign: 82% 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 2024 to 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Timpte vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in October 2010 as 10V515000. 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 Timpte, Inc. with NHTSA on June 5, 2024 as campaign 24V403000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
