The defect
LGS Industries Inc. (LGS) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Look trailers, models ST, Element, Vision, LXT, Element Puresport, Element Puresport Deckover, Vision Puresport, Vision Puresport Deckover , Element Motorcycle, and Vision Motorcycle, 2015-2016 Pace trailers, models Outback, Journey, Cargo Sport, PXT, Aerosport, Aerosport Deckover, Journey Motorcycle, and Legacy Motorcycle, and 2015-2016 Cargo Express cargo trailers, models EX, XL, PRO, CXT, XL Yukon, XL Yukon Deckover , Pro Sport, Pro Sport Deckover, XL Motorcycle, and Pro Motorcycle. The affected trailers have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 5,000 pounds or less, and were manufactured November 4, 2014, to July 27, 2015. The Ram 2" A Frame Coupler used to secure the trailer to the tow vehicle may have been manufactured improperly, preventing the external latch from fully locking into place. If the coupler's latch does not fully engage, the trailer may separate from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. LGS will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the coupler, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 30, 2015. Owners may contact LGS customer service at 1-877-475-5665.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 15V498000.
