Consequence
If the mud flap detaches during trailer use, it could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Utility Trailer has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the weld for cracks, re-welding the bracket as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 28, 2017. Owners may contact Utility Trailer customer service at 1-818-965-1541.
