Pratt Intermodal Chassis (Pratt) is recalling certain 2022-2023 GN30402-EC-6P container chassis trailers. When the chassis is in the 20-foot configuration, the mid-beam of the chassis may bend or crack when fully loaded or when the 20-foot container is overloaded.
A cracked or bent mid-beam can result in load separation or complete failure of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The chassis mid-beam will be inspected for cracks and if no cracks are found, modified to be used in the 40-foot position. If cracks are found, the trailer cannot be used. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 30, 2023. Owners may contact Pratt customer service at 1-269-262-0933. Pratt's number for this recall is 2023-00001.
