Trail King recall: Suspension
What is 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.
What could happen
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.
