What is wrong
ON CERTAIN LOW BED TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH A 2" REMOVABLE KINGPIN, THE 2" REMOVABLE KINGPIN WAS PRODUCED WITH A SINGLE PASS WELD CONNECTING THE MOUNT TUBE AND 2" KINGPIN. SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRE A TRIPLE PASS WELD IN THIS AREA. ABNORMAL UPWARD FORCE CAN SEPARATE THE MOUNTING TUBE FROM THE 2" KINGPIN.
What can happen
IF THIS 2" REMOVABLE KINGPIN IS NOT REPLACED, THE TRAILER CAN SEPARATE FROM THE TOW VEHICLE AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A REPLACEMENT 2" REMOVABLE KINGPIN. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN DURING OCTOBER 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT TRAIL KING AT 1-605-996-6482.

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.
