Trail King Recalls 2019-2021 Trailers Due to Brake Sealant Defect

Trail King is recalling 2019-2021 trailers because missing sealant on the front axle brake extension tube may allow water intrusion, leading to corrosion or freezing of the brake caliper.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Trail King Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2019-2021 TKHDG, TKAMG, TKAHG, TKHG, TKMG, TKMB, and TKLPSD trailers equipped with disc brakes and a yoke-type suspension. The recall involves 47 units.

The defect is that sealant may be missing on the disc brake chamber extension tube on the front axle. This can allow water intrusion, which may cause corrosion or freezing of the brake caliper mechanism. If the caliper mechanism corrodes or freezes, it can reduce front braking effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.

Trail King began notifying owners on February 17, 2021. Dealers will inspect the front axle brake system and seal the disc brake extension tube on the front axle, as necessary, free of charge. If water has intruded into the caliper mechanism and caused corrosion, the caliper will be replaced, free of charge. Owners may contact Trail King customer service at 1-800-843-3324 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
