Kaufman recall: Trailer hitches
What is wrong
Kaufman Trailers of NC, Inc. (Kaufman Trailers) is recalling certain 2021 Equipment trailers. These trailers have an incorrect internal locking mechanism, and when coupled with a 2-5/16" ball hitch may result in excessive play and trailer detachment.
What could happen
A trailer that detaches from a vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
The fix
The customer will inspect their Kaufman Trailer and a replacement will be mailed, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 23, 2021. Owners may contact Kaufman Trailer's customer service at 1-336-790-6800.
