1992–2023 Trail King AB, Trail King AB Ext, Trail King Tkfa +more: Suspension recall
NHTSA campaign 23V578000 · 5,641 units potentially affected · filed Aug 14, 2023
What's wrong
Trail King Industries, Inc. (Trail King) is recalling certain 1992-2023 TKFA, TKPA, AB, and AB EXT trailers equipped with pin-on axles or pivot extensions. The shims that transfer weight between the trailer and the pin-on axle may detach if the air line or air suspension lose compression.
Why it matters
Detached shims can fall into the roadway and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install new shims, tether, and hardware to tether the shims to the pin-on axle or pivot extension, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 6, 2023. Owners may contact Trail King customer service at 1-800-843-3324. Trail King's number for this recall is TK202301.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
