STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Vanguard National Trailer Corporation (Vanguard) is recalling all 2021-2023 VXP 28-Foot Pup trailers. The pintle hook box assembly may crack or break, reducing the trailer's stability while being towed.
- What it can cause
- Trailer instability can cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Vanguard will inspect and repair the pintle hook box assembly as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 23, 2025. Owners may contact Vanguard customer service at 1-888-253-3008.
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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| VanguardVXP | 2021 to 2023 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 2,192 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 23V497000 (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 Vanguard National Trailer Corporation with NHTSA on June 19, 2025 as campaign 25V385000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
