Defect description

Aluma/KLM is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 8605T, 8610T, and 8612T trailers manufactured January 1, 2011, to October 30, 2015. The affected trailers may have misaligned axle mounts, possibly resulting in the axle mounts detaching from the trailer.

Safety risk

If the axle mounts separate, there could be a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Aluma/KLM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the axle mount alignment, repairing it as necessary. Additionally, flat straps will be retrofitted to the axle mounts. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on September 30, 2016. Owners may contact Aluma/KLM customer service at 1-866-415-3285.
