Horse trailers built without a secondary gate latch can swing open
Delco Trailers is recalling all 2019-2024 Bumper Horse trailers because they were manufactured without a secondary latch on the inside gate, which can leave the gate unlatched.
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: Rubric level 3 covers risk-of-harm where injury has not yet been reported: the missing latch is an omitted securing component rather than a failure of a system controlling the vehicle, and no incidents are recorded.
