What's wrong

Joe's Trailer Mfg. (Joe's) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Great Lakes Tandem 16', 18' and 20' trailers. The coupler was improperly welded, which may cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.

Consequence

Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
