The defect
Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2018-2021 ARV Gamechanger, and ARV Pro Bumper Pull trailers equipped with tandem 6,000 lb axles. The safety chains installed are rated at 11,700 lbs, which is insufficient for the trailer.
The risk
The safety chains could break if the trailer disconnects from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
ATC will notify owners and dealers will replace the existing safety chains with a safety chain that meets the GVWR rating of the trailer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 7, 2021. Owners may contact ATC customer service at 1-877-441-2440 ext. 342.

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 21V171000.
