Trail King Recalls 2019-2020 TKHDG Paver Special Trailers Due to Lift Defect

Trail King is recalling 2019-2020 TKHDG Paver Special trailers because the gooseneck lift lower cylinder mount may crack, causing the trailer to drop suddenly.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fatigue and cracking of a lift mount) that can cause the trailer to drop suddenly, increasing the risk of injury. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury' reports, warranting a score of 4.

Plain-English summary

Trail King Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2019-2020 TKHDG Paver Special trailers. The recall addresses a defect in the gooseneck lift lower cylinder mount, which may fatigue and crack. This failure can cause the trailer to drop suddenly during the loading or unloading process.

A trailer that suddenly drops to the ground during these operations increases the risk of injury. The defect is located in the mechanical equipment, specifically the integrated jack/leveler/stabilizer components including hoses, cables, rods, gears, struts, and cylinders.
