Trailers Twist Lock Handle Can Loosen and Detach
Description
Cheetah Chassis Corporation (Cheetah) is recalling certain 2023 7400GNFF0, 7235SNFSX, and 8400GNFF0 trailers. The Tandemloc twist lock handles may separate from the trailer and fall to the ground.
Injuries / Consequence
A lock that detaches and falls can become a road hazard. In addition, this may cause a container being transported to become unsecured. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and repair affected handles, and replace any lock assemblies that are missing, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed in July 2022. Owners may contact Cheetah's customer service at 844-205-5525.
