Manac is recalling 2018-2019 Steel Platforms, Transfer Trailers, and Square Dump Trailers because steer arm bolts may break, allowing the arm to detach and drag.

What this means for you

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 structural vehicle defect (steering linkage) where the source text states the risk of injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
