Structure: body: bumpers

What is wrong
Vehicle description: flatbed trailers. The wrong material specification was furnished for the vertical gussets of the bumper. This would allow the bumper to fail by folding under the trailer at lower impact forces than allowed. These bumpers do not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 223, "rear impact guards."
Risk
Failure of the rear bumper could allow vehicles involved in front end collision with the rear end of the trailer to run under the rear end of the trailer causing vehicle damage to the trailer/vehicle and could result in bodily injury to vehicle occupants.
Remedy
Dealers will add two steel bars to the vertical gussets of the rear bumper.
