Defect. Aluma/KLM is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 8605T, 8610T, and 8612T trailers manufactured January 1, 2011, to October 30, 2015. The affected trailers may have misaligned axle mounts, possibly resulting in the axle mounts detaching from the trailer.

Risk. If the axle mounts separate, there could be a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Aluma/KLM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the axle mount alignment, repairing it as necessary. Additionally, flat straps will be retrofitted to the axle mounts. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on September 30, 2016. Owners may contact Aluma/KLM customer service at 1-866-415-3285.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
