What this recall means for you
Certain trailers with pin-on axles or pivot extensions may have shims that transfer weight between the trailer and the axle. If the air line or air suspension loses compression, these shims can detach and fall onto the roadway.
Detached shims become a road hazard that can be struck by other vehicles or cause drivers to swerve or brake suddenly, which increases the risk of a crash.
An authorized dealer will install new shims, a tether, and hardware that secure the shims to the pin-on axle or pivot extension, at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed September 6, 2023. You can contact Trail King customer service at 1-800-843-3324 and check your trailer's VIN for open recalls.
