What NHTSA recorded

Charles Machine Works, Inc. is recalling certain 2020-2022 Ditch Witch VT24, VT12, VT14, and 2022 VT14MV trailers. The vehicle certification label does not have the correct Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and rims - other than passenger cars."

Possible consequence

Incorrect GAWR information may cause the vehicle to become overloaded and result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 12, 2022. Owners may contact Charles Machine Work's customer service at 1-580-572-2223.
