Bumpers (structure)
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."
Remedy: Dealers will add two steel bars to the vertical gussets of the rear bumper.

Checking a specific 1999 Transcraft TL80K
How do I know if my 1999 Transcraft TL80K has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 1 campaign currently lists the 1999 Transcraft TL80K; your car may already have been repaired under it.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Transcraft dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 00V221000).
What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?
A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
