The defect
Trail King Industries, Inc. (Trail King) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Trail King ACS and AACS trailers with aluminum cross members over the suspension. The aluminum cross members may crack in the welded corners where the cross member attaches to the frame beam, potentially causing the suspension to loosen from the frame.
The risk
If the suspension loosens the frame, it can increase the risk of a crash.
