Defect. Super Test Corporation (Super Test) is recalling certain model year 2012 Alumadump aluminum trailers, model AL6096, manufactured from September 2011 through April 2012, sold exclusively through the Home Depot. The weld that connects the tongue to the trailer frame can fail under stress.

Risk. A trailer that separates from the towing vehicle while in use may be a significant road hazard, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy. Super Test will notify owners and will offer a full refund for each of the affected trailers. The safety recall began on December 14, 2012. Owners may contact Super Test at 1-815-623-8400. Owners should not contact the Home Depot.

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.
