2006 COTTRELL C-9ENC Recall

Campaign:

05V534000 on 11/20/2005

Component:

Structure

Manufactured:

07/31/2003 - 11/29/2005

Affected:

38

Defect:

On certain car haul trailers equipped with roofs that raise and lower, the roof is attached to a raising/lowering mechanism by brackets that are fastened to the roof. these brackets may experience high stress during the process of seating the roof in the down position, and that the fasteners used to secure the roof to the brackets may not be able to withstand those stresses.

Consequence:

The roof might separate from the trailer and a crash could occur or property damage.

Correction:

Cottrell will inspect and repair all four corners of the head-ramp and the trailer. all three customers have been notified and 36 out of 38 trailers have been repaired. owners may contact cottrell at 770-532-7251.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
