1 recall on the 2018 Load Trail Tandem Axle Dump
STRUCTURE
NHTSA 19V279000- The defect
- Load Trail LLC (Load Trail) is recalling certain 2018-2019 83"x14' and 83"x 16' Tandem Axle, and 83"x16' Triple Axle Dump trailers with the 621-scissor hoist option. Under heavy loads, the bolts that attach the hydraulic cylinder clevis to the scissor hoist can break.
- The risk
- If the bolts break, the hydraulic cylinder may disengage from the scissor hoist, causing the dump box to lower back down onto the trailer frame at a rapid rate, increasing the risk of injury.
- The fix
- Load Trail will notify owners, and dealers will add bracing and replace the clevis bolts with bolts that can support heavy loads, replacing any damaged parts as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 6, 2019. Owners may contact Load Trail customer service at 1-903-783-3900.

Checking your own trailer
A recall applies to a range of VINs, not to every 2018 Load Trail Tandem Axle Dump built. To confirm whether yours is affected, find the 17-character VIN, on a plate or sticker on the tongue or the front of the frame, and enter it in NHTSA's official lookup.
Repairs for safety recalls are free and never expire. A dealer cannot charge you, and cannot refuse on the grounds that the trailer is old or out of warranty. If one does, call the NHTSA hotline on 1-888-327-4236.
