What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (hinge failure) that could lead to a crash, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

H&H Trailers, LLC is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 GCA Golf Car Trailers, AMS Bike Trailers, RSA Rail Side Single Axle Utility Trailers, RSA Rail Side Tandem Axle Utility Trailers, SSA Solid Side Single Axle Utility Trailers, and SSA Solid Side Tandem Axle Utility Trailers. The affected units were manufactured between November 1, 2014, and October 16, 2015. A total of 1,847 trailers are included in this recall.
