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

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: 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.
