There are five recalls affecting these vans that involve critical systems such as the rear impact guard, fuel tank brackets, limb deflectors, and air brake calipers.
Recalls- Rear impact guard. Recall 23V646000 affects 3,711 vehicles because the rear impact guard is positioned too far forward. This reduces protection in rear impact crashes, increasing injury risk. Dealers will add an extension to the guard at no charge. Owners were notified starting December 2023.
- Fuel tank brackets. Recall 21V588000 covers 352 vehicles with the potential for fuel tank brackets to detach. A detached fuel tank could separate from the trailer, raising crash risk. Dealers will reinforce brackets with aluminum plates and fasteners for free. Owner letters were sent in August 2021.
- Limb deflectors detaching. Recall 18V808000 involves 5,194 vans with limb deflectors that may fall off while driving. Detachment poses a crash hazard. Wabash will remove the limb deflectors free of charge. Notification began November 2018.
- Brake caliper bolts. Recall 17V633000 impacts 314 vans equipped with Meritor EX225 brakes. Improperly torqued bolts can allow brake calipers to detach, causing loss of braking ability and increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and replace bolts as needed at no cost. Owners were notified starting November 2017.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to safety defects on this vehicle may have rights under state lemon laws. Consulting with a consumer protection attorney might be advisable.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2018 Van trailers manufactured with MPA/MTA suspensions equipped with Meritor EX225 brakes.

Risk: If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper detaches from the mounting flange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
