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 mechanical defect that can cause injury or a crash, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Liberty Outdoors, LLC is recalling certain 2018 Little Guy Max recreational trailers equipped with a Smart-Jack model power tongue jack. The defect involves the laminated plastic touch pad on the jack, which may crack or separate. This separation allows water to enter the unit, potentially causing the jack to operate unintentionally.

If the jack retracts or extends unintentionally, it can increase the risk of injury to individuals within the trailer. Additionally, if the jack moves while the trailer is being towed, it increases the risk of a crash.

The recall began on February 27, 2018. Liberty will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power tongue jack free of charge. Owners may contact Liberty customer service at 1-877-545-4897 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. Liberty's number for this recall is LOR-001.
