What NHTSA says
Source: Office of Defects Investigation, as filedOn April 11, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Recall Query (RQ24007), to investigate certain GN30402-EC-6P chassis trailers experiencing mid-beam bending and cracking. The subject chassis trailers were produced by Pratt Industries LLC (Pratt) prior to the December 2021 sale of the company to Pratt Intermodal Chassis (PIC). Trailers produced by PIC are covered by recall 23V767. On April 26, 2024, ODI sent Information Request (IR) letters to Pratt Industries LLC and PIC. On April 29, 2024, Pratt Industries LLC responded to the IR letter informing ODI that the company had filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on April 17, 2024, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (Case No. 24-bk-10820). On June 6, 2024, PIC responded in full to the IR letter, and included the Asset Purchase Agreement between Pratt and PIC, which indicates that the Seller (Pratt Industries LLC) retains responsibility for the chassis trailers built prior to the December 2021 sale. Because the responsible manufacturer, Pratt Industries LLC, has ceased operations, ODI is closing this investigation. Owners of GN30402-EC-6P chassis trailers built prior to December 2021 should have their trailers professionally inspected. As a guide, inspection and remediation information can be found at https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCONL-23V767-7974.pdf. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does or does not exist in these or any other Pratt Industries LLC chassis trailers. Additionally, the Agency notes that the Vehicle Safety Act, 49 U.S.C.A § 30120A states: “A manufacturer’s filing of a petition in bankruptcy under chapter 7 or chapter 11 of title 11 does not negate the manufacturer’s duty to comply with section 30112 or sections 30115 through 30120 of this title,� which include the recall provisions of the Act. The Agency reserves the right to take further action as warranted.

A Recall Query is a look at a recall that already exists — whether its remedy works, whether it reached every vehicle it should have, whether the manufacturer met its obligations. The summary is the agency’s own text from its investigation file, unedited; the opening and closing resumes with the full reasoning are on NHTSA’s site under this number.
What this means for an owner
Source: and what happens nextAn investigation is not a finding that a defect exists, and it puts no duty on anyone. NHTSA opens a Preliminary Evaluation when complaints and other reports suggest a condition worth asking the manufacturer about; it upgrades to an Engineering Analysis when the answers warrant testing; it closes either when it recommends a recall, when the manufacturer recalls on its own, or when no defect trend is found. The agency’s own goals are about four months for a petition, eight for a Preliminary Evaluation or a Recall Query and eighteen for an Engineering Analysis; many run longer.
This one is closed. A recall query ends with NHTSA’s finding on the recall it examined — the remedy stands, is widened, or a new campaign follows; the file names the recall it concerned and NHTSA’s closing resume carries the reasoning.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA Office of Defects InvestigationIs RQ24007 a recall?
No. A recall query is NHTSA asking questions, not a recall. A safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number and a duty to repair for free; this one closed without one. Whether one particular vehicle has an open recall is a VIN question at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is RQ24007 still open?
No. It closed on Oct 27, 2025 without a recall.
Which vehicles does RQ24007 cover?
NHTSA opened it on 2 model years: 2023 Pratt Industries Pratt Industries, 2022 Pratt Intermodal Chassis GN30402-EC-6P. That is the scope of the inquiry, not a list of affected vehicles; a recall, if one follows, defines its own population by VIN.
