What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Triton Trailers, LLC (Triton) is recalling certain 2017 W-25 Single Torsion Axle Trailers. The axle mounting bolts may have been improperly tightened, possibly resulting in the detachment of the axle from the trailer.

The risk

If the axle separates from the trailer there would be an increased risk of a crash.

The remedy

Triton has notified the owner and has inspected the fasteners for proper torque, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification occurred on August 25, 2017. The recall began on August 25, 2017. Owners may contact Triton customer service at 1-800-232-3780.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
