The defect
Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2024-2026 RM900 and 2026 RM700 trailers. The coupler mounting bolts may loosen, separating the coupler from the trailer.
The risk
A separated trailer coupler can cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
ATC will install a gusset reinforcement kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 13, 2026. Owners may call ATC customer service at 1-877-441-2440.
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.
