2018 Load Trail Tandem Axle Dump

Defect. Load Trail LLC (Load Trail) is recalling certain 2018-2019 83"x14' and 83"x 16' Tandem Axle, and 83"x16' Triple Axle Dump trailers with the 621-scissor hoist option. Under heavy loads, the bolts that attach the hydraulic cylinder clevis to the scissor hoist can break.

Risk. If the bolts break, the hydraulic cylinder may disengage from the scissor hoist, causing the dump box to lower back down onto the trailer frame at a rapid rate, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. Load Trail will notify owners, and dealers will add bracing and replace the clevis bolts with bolts that can support heavy loads, replacing any damaged parts as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 6, 2019. Owners may contact Load Trail customer service at 1-903-783-3900.

235-75-17.5 load rating J. Speed rating L. These are trailer tires. I pitched them brand new and had them installed by a local tire shop. I have purchased a total of four tires and every one blew out. These tires have lasted from 100 miles up to 2000 miles. Every tire has had the same symptom. The tire explodes and the tread comes off in one piece. These tires have been checked many times right before they have exploded without showing any signs of wear or defect. All tires have been inflated to their operation pressures listed on the tire. When they explode, it is extremely violent and drags the trailer to one side. Luckily, I haven’t had anyone next to me when this happens. I am a skilled professional driver, but for someone that isn’t, this can cause an accident very easily. I have two of the tires that failed and is available for inspection. I feel these tires are being sold as new virgin tires, but are actually recap tires. The tire sellers information is being hidden from me by Amazon.
