STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
- The defect
- Fontaine Trailer Company (Fontaine Trailer) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Fusion flatbed trailers. The main beams may have been contaminated with hydrogen during the galvanization process, causing the beams to crack.
- What it can cause
- A cracked beam may break, resulting in a loss of load support and increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to use their trailer until the remedy is completed. Fontaine Trailer will inspect and replace the trailers as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 11, 2026. Owners may contact Fontaine Trailer customer service at 1-800-821-6535, option 5.
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 247 vehicles this is a small campaign: 58% 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 2025 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Fontaine vehicles have been recalled over the structure 3 times before this, most recently in September 2018 as 18V660000. 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 Fontaine Trailer Company with NHTSA on May 8, 2026 as campaign 26V291000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
