114 units affected
Issue: On certain trailers, the rear impact guard may not have been welded properly to the frame. As a result, the rear impact guard may not work properly in a crash. Safety Risk: A rear impact guard that doesn't work properly could cause a vehicle to underride the trailer and increase the risk of injuries. Corrective Actions: Lode King will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, weld the rear impact guard to the frame. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the inspection and repairs performed at a Lode King dealership.
- Brakes#2022678
604 units affected
Issue: On certain trailers, the check valve mounted on the air tank could break. If this happens, the service brakes will lose pressure and the emergency brakes will apply. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of service brakes or the self-application of the emergency brakes while driving could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Lode King will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your trailer to a dealer to replace the check valve on the air tank.
- Suspension#2021232

Issue: On certain trailers equipped with a Dexter Smart-Steer 2.0 self-steering axle, the bolts that attach the steer arm to the knuckle could break. If this happens, the steer arm or the bolts could detach from the trailer. Safety Risk: Parts that detach from the trailer could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Lode King will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your trailer to a Dexter Canada authorized service facility to weld the steer arms to the knuckles.

Correction: Dealers will replace the toolbox mounting brackets.
