Plain-English summary

LGS Industries Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Look, Pace, and Cargo Express cargo trailers. The affected units have a gross vehicle weight rating of 5,000 pounds or less and were manufactured between November 4, 2014, and July 27, 2015. Specific models include Look ST, Element, Vision, LXT, and Puresport variants; Pace Outback, Journey, Cargo Sport, PXT, and Aerosport variants; and Cargo Express EX, XL, PRO, CXT, and Yukon variants.

The recall addresses a defect in the Ram 2" A Frame Coupler used to secure the trailer to the tow vehicle. The coupler may have been manufactured improperly, preventing the external latch from fully locking into place.

LGS will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the coupler, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2015. Owners may contact LGS customer service at 1-877-475-5665 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
