The defect
Aluma/KLM is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 5410T and 5410WD trailers manufactured January 1, 2011, to June 1, 2015. Due to missing welds, the trailer tongues may separate from the body of the trailer.
The risk
If the trailer tongue separates, the rear of the tongue retainer and tongue tube will drag on pavement and the trailer will not be properly secured to the tow vehicle, resulting in a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
