Atc Arv recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2018-2021 ARV Gamechanger, and ARV Pro Bumper Pull trailers equipped with tandem 6,000 lb axles. The safety chains installed are rated at 11,700 lbs, which is insufficient for the trailer.
What could happen
The safety chains could break if the trailer disconnects from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
ATC will notify owners and dealers will replace the existing safety chains with a safety chain that meets the GVWR rating of the trailer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 7, 2021. Owners may contact ATC customer service at 1-877-441-2440 ext. 342.
