Defect. THE WELDS USED TO HOLD THE MAIN FOLDING HINGE TO THE SIDE FRAME MEMBERS WERE EITHER OMITTED OR TEMPORARY TACK WELDS RATHER THAN COMPLETE WELDS WERE USED.

Risk. THE REAR HINGE CAN SEPARATE FROM THE REAR FRAME CAUSING THE FRAME TO CONTACT THE ROAD SURFACE WHILE THE TRAILER IS TOWED AND CARRYING A MOTORCYCLE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WELD AND, IF NOT FULLY WELDED, IT WILL BE CLEANED, PREPARED, CORRECTLY WELDED, AND REPAINTED.

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.
