The defect
Lode-King Industries, Ltd (Lode-King) is recalling certain 2019-2026 SDG53-3, SDF53-3, and SDF50-3 trailers. The rear impact guard may be missing welds, reducing the guard's structural strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 223, "Rear Impact Guards."
The risk
A guard with inadequate strength may not sufficiently protect a following vehicle, increasing the risk of injury during a rear end crash.
The remedy
Lode-King will inspect and add welds as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 14, 2026. Owners may contact Lode-King's customer service at 1-204-325-4345 or 1-866-797-0669. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning May 22, 2026.
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.
