Summary

Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2018-2021 ARV Gamechanger, and ARV Pro Bumper Pull trailers equipped with tandem 6,000 lb axles. The safety chains installed are rated at 11,700 lbs, which is insufficient for the trailer.

Safety Risk

The safety chains could break if the trailer disconnects from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
