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 mechanical defect that could cause a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Tex Trail Trailer Parts is recalling certain Towking 12K Top Wind Jacks. The standard nut used to hold the handle sleeve in place may loosen, which allows the jack handle to separate from the jack assembly.

If the jack separates from its assembly, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. Tex Trail only sold these products to dealers and not directly to end users.

Tex Trail will replace the standard nut with a nylon nut. The company began notifying dealers on February 27, 2020, and the recall began on March 4, 2020. Owners may contact Tex Trail customer service at 1-903-575-0547 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
