The defect
CERTAIN MINI TRAILERS HAVE INADEQUATE WELDS TO THE TONGUE AND FRAME ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD CAUSE SEPARATION OF THE TONGUE ASSEMBLY FROM THE FRAME.
The risk
THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE INSTABILITY AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRAILER, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The remedy
LITTLE TRAILER WILL EXCHANGE THE TRAILER WITH A NEW TRAILER AND A NEWLY DESIGNED FRAME. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT THE LITTLE TRAILER COMPANY AT 574-522-1112.
Notes
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
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.
