TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
NHTSA 22V498000- The defect
- Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing, Inc. (Big Tex Trailer) is recalling certain 2003-2022 16GN trailers. The spare tire mount allows the spare tire to vibrate, which can cause the joint between the spare tire mount and the trailer to fatigue and eventually fail.
- The risk
- Spare tire mount failure can allow the spare tire to detach from the trailer and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will relocate and reinforce the spare tire mount, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 9, 2022. Owners may contact Big Tex Trailer's customer service at 1-800-594-5637.

Checking your own trailer
A recall applies to a range of VINs, not to every 2023 Big Tex 16gn 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.
