What this means for you
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 that creates a risk of personal injury (crushing or projectile hazard) without reported illnesses or injuries, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
LGS Industries Inc is recalling certain model year 2017 Look, Pace, and Cargo Express cargo trailers manufactured between October 24, 2016, and November 8, 2016. The recall addresses a defect where insufficient welds on the bracket that attaches the torsion spring cable to the ramp door could cause the bracket to detach.
If the bracket detaches, the ramp door can fall open, creating a crushing hazard. Alternatively, if the door is completely open, the detached cable and bracket could act as a projectile, potentially causing personal injury. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.
LGS will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the cable brackets and repair them as necessary at no charge. The recall began on January 17, 2017. Owners may contact LGS customer service at 1-877-475-5665 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
