NHTSA Complaint #11604612 — 2022 BUCKEYE BUCKEYE

Manufacture, Buckeye Trailer & Fab, LLC admitted via email they sold us a defective/ out of tolerance product, that should have never left their manufacturing facility. We have attempted 1.5years requesting a full refund or product replacement. They have failed to comply. I am writing to formally report a significant safety concern regarding Buckeye Trailer & Fab, LLC, which pertains to their manufacturing and quality control processes. As a stakeholder in the industry, I believe it is crucial to bring this issue to the attention of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to prevent potential hazards to public safety. It has come to our attention that Buckeye Trailer & Fab, LLC has been neglecting to adequately inspect and quality control their products before selling them to the public for commercial use. This neglect encompasses a range of their trailers, which are being used nationwide to transport products and perform various services. The core issues include, but are not limited to: Lack of Comprehensive Inspections: Reports indicate that trailers are being released to customers without thorough inspections, leading to structural weaknesses and mechanical failures. Inadequate Quality Control: There appears to be a systemic failure in the company's quality control protocols, resulting in products that may not meet safety standards and regulatory requirements. Risk to Public Safety: The consequences of such negligence are profound, potentially leading to accidents, injuries, or even fatalities due to the compromised integrity of the trailers. Given the widespread use of these trailers across the United States for transporting goods and providing essential services, the potential for harm is significant. We urge the NHTSA to conduct an immediate investigation into Buckeye Trailer & Fab, LLC's manufacturing and quality control practices, to ensure all their products meet the required safety standards,per DOT/NHTSA. We urge a recall for all 2022.
