JAG Mobile Solutions Recalls Porta-Lisa Trailers Due to Hitch Defect

JAG Mobile Solutions is recalling certain Porta-Lisa and Porta-Lisa Plus trailers because the hitch assembly may crack or break, potentially causing a crash.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (hitch assembly) that could result in a crash, which meets the criteria for a Severe rating under the rubric.

Plain-English summary

JAG Mobile Solutions, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2011 Porta-Lisa and Porta-Lisa Plus mobile restrooms, showers, and combination towable trailers. The recall involves 178 units.

The defect involves the hitch assembly of the chassis, which may be built with steel tubes that are not of adequate size to withstand forces exerted on the hitch in certain applications. This could cause the hitch to crack and become nonfunctional or break completely, separating the trailer tongue from the rest of the chassis, which could result in a crash.

JAG will notify owners, and Dexter Chassis Group field representatives or their assigned agents will repair the trailers free of charge. The safety recall began in August 2010. Owners may contact JAG at 1-260-562-1045 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
