Official summary
AULICK MANUFACTURING IS RECALLING CERTAIN AULTIMATE AGRICULTURAL TRAILERS MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY 5, 2004, THROUGH JULY 1, 2011, FOR A REAR BUMPER THAT FAILS TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NUMBER 224, "REAR IMPACT PROTECTION" AND FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NUMBER 223 "REAR IMPACT GUARDS." THE BOTTOM OF THE BUMPER EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE HEIGHT FROM THE GROUND, WHICH LIMITS THE UNDERRIDE PROTECTION. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECTED VERTICAL HEIGHT OF THE REAR BUMPER IS LESS THAN 100MM.
Official consequence
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, A PASSENGER VEHICLE'S BUMPER MAY TRAVEL UNDER THE TRAILER'S BUMPER. WITHOUT THE PROTECTION THAT THE BUMPER AFFORDS, THE INJURIES TO THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE MAY BE INCREASED. IN ADDITION, THE IMPACT LOAD DISTRIBUTION MAY BE DECREASED IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH DUE TO NONCOMPLIANT VERTICAL HEIGHT.
Official remedy
AULICK WILL REPLACE THE REAR BUMPER WITH ONE THAT HAS THE CORRECT PLACEMENT AND IS COMPLIANT HEIGHT. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 11, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT AULICK AT 1-308-632-6197.
