- Problem
- Trail King Industries, Inc. (Trail King) is recalling certain 2019-2021 TKHDG, TKAMG, TKAHG, TKHG, TKMG, TKMB, and TKLPSD trailers equipped with disc brakes and a yoke-type suspension. Sealant may be missing on the disc brake chamber extension tube on the front axle, possibly allowing water intrusion which can cause corrosion or freezing of the brake caliper mechanism.
- Risk
- If the disc brake's caliper mechanism corrodes or freezes, it can reduce front braking effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Trail King began notifying owners, and dealers will inspect the front axle brake system, and seal the disc brake extension tube on the front axle, as necessary, free of charge. If water has intruded into the caliper mechanism and caused corrosion, the caliper will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began February 17, 2021. Owners may contact Trail King customer service at 1-800-843-3324. Trail King's number for this recall is TK202101.

What this recall means for you
Some trailers have disc brakes where the sealant on the front axle's brake chamber extension tube may be missing. This can let water get into the brake caliper, where it may cause corrosion or freezing. Over time, this can reduce front braking effectiveness and increase the risk of a crash.
An authorized dealer will inspect the front axle brake system and seal the disc brake extension tube where needed, at no cost to you. If water has already caused corrosion in the caliper mechanism, the caliper will be replaced free of charge.
Owners can contact Trail King customer service at 1-800-843-3324 for more information. You can also check your trailer's VIN for open recalls to confirm whether it is affected.
