What's wrong

Lode-King Industries, Ltd (Lode-King) is recalling certain 2019-2026 SDG53-3, SDF53-3, and SDF50-3 trailers. The rear impact guard may be missing welds, reducing the guard's structural strength.

Consequence

A guard with inadequate strength may not sufficiently protect a following vehicle, increasing the risk of injury during a rear end crash.
