What this recall means for you
Certain 2017 single torsion axle trailers may have had their axle mounting bolts improperly tightened at the factory. Over time, this could allow the axle to separate from the trailer.
If the axle detaches, the trailer can become unstable or fail, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should not wait to have the fasteners checked.
The manufacturer is inspecting the axle mounting fasteners for proper torque and tightening them as needed, at no cost to the owner. Contact Triton customer service at 1-800-232-3780 to arrange the check, and confirm your trailer's VIN for open recalls.
