What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (missing welds) that can lead to loss of control and a crash, which meets the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Aluma/KLM is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 5410T and 5410WD trailers manufactured between January 1, 2011, and June 1, 2015. The recall involves 529 units.
The defect is caused by missing welds, which may allow the trailer tongues to separate from the body of the trailer. If the tongue separates, the rear of the tongue retainer and tongue tube will drag on the pavement, and the trailer will not be properly secured to the tow vehicle. This condition results in a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Aluma/KLM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailers for missing welds, add any missing welds, and retrofit 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 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
