What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Trail King Industries, Inc. (Trail King) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Trail King ACS and AACS trailers with aluminum cross members over the suspension. The aluminum cross members may crack in the welded corners where the cross member attaches to the frame beam, potentially causing the suspension to loosen from the frame.

The risk

If the suspension loosens the frame, it can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Trail King will notify owners, and dealers will replace the cross members, free of charge. The recall began October 24, 2018. Owners may contact Trail King customer service at 1-800-843-3324. Trail King's number for this recall is TK201802.

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.
