Chronology :

On August 20, 2021 Trail King was contacted by a customer that, during a routine inspection, had discovered cracking in the rear axle suspension slide pan of 3 of its 45 ACS trailers. The customer inspected the remaining 42 units and found cracks in 9 of the slide pans. Trail King had not received similar reports of cracking on this trailer model from any other customer and based on Trail King’s evaluation, it determined that the cracks observed in the trailers for this customer were due to a trailer application issue specifically with this customer.

On September 14, 2021, Trail King was notified by a different customer of a similar issue with the performance of a slide pan. Trail King confirmed the customer’s report with photographic evidence on October 6, 2021.

On October 8, 2021, Trail King decided to conduct a recall.
