The contact owns a 2016 U-Dump Roll Off Trailer and Container. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the two barn doors on the container erroneously opened, causing the contents inside the container to fall out onto the roadway.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Without the weld, the slider rail may detach from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Utility Trailer will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, add the weld, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 9, 2021. Owners may contact Utility Trailer customer service at 1-800-423-6591. Utility Trailer's number for this recall is SB-07-015.
