(LGS) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Look trailers, models ST, Element, Vision, LXT, Element Puresport, Element Puresport Deckover, Vision Puresport, Vision Puresport Deckover , Element Motorcycle, and Vision Motorcycle, 2015-2016 Pace trailers, models Outback, Journey, Cargo Sport, PXT, Aerosport, Aerosport Deckover, Journey Motorcycle, and Legacy Motorcycle, and 2015-2016 Cargo Express cargo trailers, models EX, XL, PRO, CXT, XL Yukon, XL Yukon Deckover , Pro Sport, Pro Sport Deckover, XL Motorcycle, and Pro Motorcycle. The affected trailers have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 5,000 pounds or less, and were manufactured November 4, 2014, to July 27, 2015. The Ram 2" A Frame Coupler used to secure the trailer to the tow vehicle may have been manufactured improperly, preventing the external latch from fully locking into place. If the coupler's latch does not fully engage, the trailer may separate from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. LGS will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the coupler, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 30, 2015. Owners may contact LGS customer service at 1-877-475-5665.

What this recall means for you
A Ram 2" A-Frame coupler on certain 2015-2016 cargo trailers may have been manufactured improperly, so the external latch may not fully lock onto the tow vehicle's hitch. The affected trailers were built between November 4, 2014, and July 27, 2015.
If the coupler's latch does not fully engage, the trailer may separate from the tow vehicle while driving, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should check their trailer's coupler and confirm it is securely latched before every trip.
LGS Industries will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and repair the coupler as needed at no cost to you. The recall began September 15, 2015. To check whether your trailer is included, contact LGS customer service at 1-877-475-5665 or look up your VIN for open recalls.
