Summary

Universal Trailer Cargo Group, Inc. (UTC Group) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Haulmark and Wells Cargo Aluminum Snowmobile trailers, models HAS85X16DT2, HAS85X20DT2, HAS85X22DT2, HAS85X24DT2, WAS85X1622, WAS85X2022 and WAS85X2422, manufactured June 18, 2015, to September 23, 2016. Cross winds may result in the trailers tipping or lifting, possibly causing the couplers to tear.

Consequence

If the coupler tears, the trailer can separate from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

UTC Group will notify owners, and dealers will attach a reinforcement plate assembly and extra coupler tube to each trailer, free of charge. The recall began on October 26, 2016. Owners may contact UTC Group customer service at 1-574-264-9661. UTC Group's number for this recall is ID119915.
