Defect. Universal Trailer Cargo Group, Inc. (UTC Group) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Haulmark and Wells Cargo Aluminum Snowmobile trailers, models HAS85X16DT2, HAS85X20DT2, HAS85X22DT2, HAS85X24DT2, WAS85X1622, WAS85X2022 and WAS85X2422, manufactured June 18, 2015, to September 23, 2016. Cross winds may result in the trailers tipping or lifting, possibly causing the couplers to tear.

Risk. If the coupler tears, the trailer can separate from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. UTC Group will notify owners, and dealers will attach a reinforcement plate assembly and extra coupler tube to each trailer, free of charge. The recall began on October 26, 2016. Owners may contact UTC Group customer service at 1-574-264-9661. UTC Group's number for this recall is ID119915.

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.
