What is wrong
Kaufman Trailers Group, LLC. (Kaufman) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 FE-3/7K-44 Mini Car Haulers manufactured January 1, 2015, to August 31, 2016. On the affected trailers, the spring eye may break off the spring and allow the axle to slide back and forth.
What can happen
If the axle slides back and forth, the tires on that axle may contact the fenders or the adjacent tires, possibly damaging the tires and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Kaufman has notified owners and dealers will replace all of the springs on the affected trailers with a newly designed spring that has a thicker top leaf and rubber bushing with steel sleeve. The recall began on October 24, 2016. For help with this recall, owners may contact Kaufman at 1-336-790-2756.

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.
