What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

A ONE-PIECE SPRING HANGER/STEP USED FOR HANGING THE SPRINGS CAN FATIGUE AND BREAK. IF THE STEP BREAKS, ONE OR MORE OF THE SPRINGS CAN FALL FROM THE TRAILER WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

The risk

IF SPRINGS FALL FROM THE TRAILER WHILE THE TRAILER IS OPERATING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SPRINGS CAN BECOME ROAD HAZARDS TO OTHER VEHICLES SHARING THE ROADWAY.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THIS SPRING/HANGER STEP WITH AN IMPROVED NEW PART.

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.
