The defect
Charles Machine Works, Inc. is recalling certain 2020-2022 Ditch Witch VT24, VT12, VT14, and 2022 VT14MV trailers. The vehicle certification label does not have the correct Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and rims - other than passenger cars."
The risk
Incorrect GAWR information may cause the vehicle to become overloaded and result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 12, 2022. Owners may contact Charles Machine Work's customer service at 1-580-572-2223.
