What this recall means for you
Certain generator trailers may have wheel lug nuts that were not tightened properly at the factory. If the lug nuts are loose, a wheel can detach from the trailer while it is moving, which increases the risk of a crash.
Owners are advised not to tow the trailer until the recall repair has been completed. Authorized dealers will tighten the wheel lug nuts at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed July 29, 2024. You can also contact Doosan customer service at 1-800-633-5206, and you can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
