Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

The defect: Kaufman Trailers of NC, Inc. (Kaufman Trailers) is recalling certain 2021 Equipment trailers. These trailers have an incorrect internal locking mechanism, and when coupled with a 2-5/16" ball hitch may result in excessive play and trailer detachment.
The risk: A trailer that detaches from a vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy: The customer will inspect their Kaufman Trailer and a replacement will be mailed, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 23, 2021. Owners may contact Kaufman Trailer's customer service at 1-336-790-6800.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
