Defect. Hitch-Hiker Mfg., Inc. (Hitch Hiker) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 food concession trailers equipped with GKN brand axles. In the affected trailers, the axle may break allowing the arm, spindle, hub, wheel and tire to separate.

Risk. If the trailer is being towed and the axle breaks it may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Hitch-Hiker will notify owners and replace the axles. The recall began during April 2013. Owners may contact Hitch-Hiker at 1-330-542-3052.

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.
