“Do not drive” warning issued for certain Fontaine trailers
A "do not drive" warning has been issued for 247 Fontaine Trailers.

WASHINGTON — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is reporting Fontaine Trailer Company is recalling certain 2025-2026 Fusion flatbed trailers.

“The main beams may have been contaminated with hydrogen during the galvanization process, causing the beams to crack,” NHTSA said. “A cracked beam may break, resulting in a loss of load support and increasing the risk of a crash or injury.”

The recall impacts 247 units.

Remedy

Owners are advised not to use their trailer until the remedy is completed. Fontaine Trailer will inspect and replace the trailers as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters have been mailed. Owners may also contact Fontaine Trailer customer service at 1-800-821-6535, option 5.
