CERTAIN MINI TRAILERS HAVE INADEQUATE WELDS TO THE TONGUE AND FRAME ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD CAUSE SEPARATION OF THE TONGUE ASSEMBLY FROM THE FRAME.
THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE INSTABILITY AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRAILER, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
LITTLE TRAILER WILL EXCHANGE THE TRAILER WITH A NEW TRAILER AND A NEWLY DESIGNED FRAME. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT THE LITTLE TRAILER COMPANY AT 574-522-1112.
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT '1-888-327-4236'.
