Campaign:: 16V433000 on 06/13/2016
Component:: Trailer hitches
Manufactured:: 03/30/2015 - 11/16/2015
Affected:: 36
Defect:: Pj trailers is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 t1 single axle tilt trailers manufactured march 31, 2015, to november 17, 2015. during production, these trailers had a notch cut into steel tongue that may have been too deep and thus compromised the strength of the tongue, causing it to crack and separate from the trailer.
Consequence:: If the trailer separates from the tongue, the rest of the trailer would not be connected to the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:: Pj trailers has notified owners, and provided each owner with a reinforcement kit to have installed, free of charge. the recall began in november 2015. owners may contact pj trailers customer service at 1-866-752-8781.
