Trailer hitches

What is wrong
PJ Trailers is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 T1 single axle tilt trailers manufactured March 31, 2015, to November 17, 2015. During production, these trailers had a notch cut into steel tongue that may have been too deep and thus compromised the strength of the tongue, causing it to crack and separate from the trailer.
Risk
If the trailer separates from the tongue, the rest of the trailer would not be connected to the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
PJ Trailers has notified owners, and provided each owner with a reinforcement kit to have installed, free of charge. The recall began in November 2015. Owners may contact PJ Trailers customer service at 1‑866‑752‑8781.
