LGS Industries Inc: Structure › Body › Door › Hinge and Attachments
LGS Industries Inc reported this defect to federal regulators on Nov 30, 2016 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 34. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
LGS Industries Inc (LGS) is recalling certain model year 2017 Look, Pace, and Cargo Express cargo trailers manufactured October 24, 2016, to November 8, 2016. Due to insufficient welds, the bracket that attaches the torsion spring cable to the ramp door could detach from the ramp door.
The risk
If the bracket detaches, the door can fall open, creating a crushing hazard or, if the door is completely open, the cable and bracket could act as a projectile, possibly causing personal injury.
The remedy
LGS will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the cable brackets, repairing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 17, 2017. 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 16V863000.
