What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Aluma KLM (Aluma) is recalling certain 2021 8214HSTILT trailers. The front latch rivet nuts may not remain secure, causing the angle mounting bracket to become loose.

The risk

A loose angle mounting bracket may disengage, and cause the trailer bed to tilt unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will install new mounting hardware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 21, 2021. Owners may contact Aluma's customer service at 1-866-415-3285.

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.nhtsa.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.
