Great Lakes recall: Trailer hitches
What is wrong
Joe's Trailer Mfg. (Joe's) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Great Lakes Tandem 16', 18' and 20' trailers. The coupler was improperly welded, which may cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.
What could happen
Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Joe's will inspect and replace the coupler as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed in July 20, 2022. Owners may contact Joe's customer service at 1-734-261-0050.
