Rear-Impact Guard
The rear-impact guard consists of vertical and
horizontal structural components, a certification
label, welds, and hardware. The guard works as a
system in conjunction with the trailer’s rear frame
and understructure.
Your Wabash National trailer rear-impact guard
meets and exceeds the requirements of United
States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 49
CFR Sections 571.223 and 571.224 and Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 223. These
standards include requirements for strength, energy
absorption, dimensions, and testing. At the time
of manufacture, a certification label is placed on
the forward-facing surface of the guard horizontal
member to verify that it meets all requirements.
WaRNING:
It is illegal to replace a missing or damaged
certification label without proof that the rear-impact
guard in question has been tested to verify that it
meets these United States and Canadian safety
requirements. Wabash National does not authorize
or approve of any party replacing a missing or
damaged certification label without seeking the
express permission of Wabash National.
It is extremely important to inspect the rear-impact
guard during the driver’s daily inspections. Inspect
and verify the welds are not cracked, fasteners
are intact and secure, and structural components
are not buckled or bent. Wabash National
fabricates new OEM replacement parts and repair
components.

properly maintained.

no longer complies with the requirements of federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and/or the Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards must be replaced or
repaired to its original condition.
