REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could
cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Wells
Cargo, Inc. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may
open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect
exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become
involved in individual problems between you, your dealer,
or Wells Cargo, Inc. To contact NHTSA, you may either call
the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393
(or 366-0123 in Washington, DC area) or write to:
NHTSA
U.S. DEPARTMENT of TRANSPORTATION
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle
safety from the Hotline.

WITH A WELLS CARGO BEHIND . . . YOU NEVER LOOK BACK!
Jeffrey M. Wells
President
Wells Cargo, Inc.
We hear it all the time, “My Wells Cargo pulls so well,
I can hardly tell it’s there.” There’s a reason why a Wells
Cargo delivers such smooth towing and stable handling. We
build them better! Experience makes a difference, and our
experience is unmatched in the industry. Since 1954, we’ve
combined State-of-the Art Design with the best materials
available to manufacture our trailers.
There’s another reason for our slogan, “With a Wells Cargo
Behind . . . You Never Look Back!” We never want you to
“look back” or second guess your decision to buy a Wells
Cargo trailer. That’s why we support you with a 6-Year
Warranty Program that
really works for you.
