NHTSA Campaign 19V279000
STRUCTURE
Issued by Load Trail LLC · Reported Apr 8, 2019 · 355 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Load Trail LLC (Load Trail) is recalling certain 2018-2019 83"x14' and 83"x 16' Tandem Axle, and 83"x16' Triple Axle Dump trailers with the 621-scissor hoist option. Under heavy loads, the bolts that attach the hydraulic cylinder clevis to the scissor hoist can break.
Consequence
If the bolts break, the hydraulic cylinder may disengage from the scissor hoist, causing the dump box to lower back down onto the trailer frame at a rapid rate, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
Load Trail will notify owners, and dealers will add bracing and replace the clevis bolts with bolts that can support heavy loads, replacing any damaged parts as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 6, 2019. Owners may contact Load Trail customer service at 1-903-783-3900.
