Fontaine Trailer Company "Fontaine Trailer" is recalling certain 2017-2019 Traverse HT "hydraulic tail" trailers. The hydraulic cylinder retaining pin for the main tail may disconnect from the trailer unexpectedly.
If the hydraulic cylinder retaining pin becomes disconnected it may become a road hazard. Additionally, the hydraulic cylinder may drop free and impact the road, and cause a loss of vehicle control. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Fontaine Trailer will notify owners and dealers will replace the hydraulic cylinder retaining pin snap rings for cotter pins, free of charge. The recall began June 13, 2019. Owners may contact Fontaine Trailer customer service at 1-877-345-9526.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
