The defect: Diamond C Trailer MFG. (Diamond C) is recalling certain 2023-2024 FMAX, SDX, and PX trailers equipped with a spare tire winch. The winch system that secures the spare tire to the trailer may loosen or fail over time.
The risk: Winch system failure can result in the tire detaching from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Dealers will install a secondary retention device in the form of a steel bar and latch, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 30, 2023. Owners may contact Diamond C customer service at 1-903-572-2834.
