Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2018-2021 ARV Gamechanger, and ARV Pro Bumper Pull trailers equipped with tandem 6,000 lb axles. The safety chains installed are rated at 11,700 lbs, which is insufficient for the trailer.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
