What is wrong
Trail King Industries, Inc. (Trail King) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Flatbed Trailers, model numbers TK20, TKT20, TK24, TKT24, and TK32. The axles on these vehicles may have been installed incorrectly, reducing the braking ability of the electric brakes.
What could happen
The brakes may not be able to be applied to full strength, increasing the risk of a crash.

Trail King has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the orientation of the brakes, correcting them if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 4, 2017. Owners may contact Trail King customer service at 1-800-843-3324.
