Defect. Fontaine Trailer Company (Fontaine Trailer) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Traverse HT (hydraulic tail) trailers. The hydraulic cylinder retaining pin for the main tail may disconnect from the trailer unexpectedly.

Risk. If the hydraulic cylinder retaining pin becomes disconnected it may become a road hazard. Additionally, the hydraulic cylinder may drop free and impact the road, and cause a loss of vehicle control. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Fontaine Trailer will notify owners and dealers will replace the hydraulic cylinder retaining pin snap rings for cotter pins, free of charge. The recall began June 13, 2019. Owners may contact Fontaine Trailer customer service at 1-877-345-9526.

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.
