I OWN A 2007 SINGLE AXLE TRAILER. IT HAS CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATE [XXX]. I BOUGHT THE TRAILER NEW IN 2007. THE TAILGATE IS VERY HEAVY. THE NEIGHBOR'S 5 YEAR OLD BOY UNLATCHED THE TAILGATE AND FORTUNATELY WAS NOT HURT WHEN THE TAILGATE FELL. I THINK THAT THESE TRAILERS SHOULD HAVE SOME MEANS OF LOCKING SO THAT THE OWNERS CAN SECURE THE TAILGATE. BY THE WAY, YOUR CHOICE OF VEHICLE TRAILERS DID NOT INCLUDE DARGO, SO I CHOSE XL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.
