Why it was recalled

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.

What was recalled

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.

What to do

Aluma/KLM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailers for missing welds, adding any missing welds and retrofitting two additional gussets, free of charge. The recall began on September 30, 2016. Owners may contact Aluma/KLM customer service at 1-866-415-3285.. Follow the official notice for full instructions.
