| 355 vehicles affected
Defect: Load Trail LLC (Load Trail) is recalling certain 2018-2019 83"x14' and 83"x 16' Tandem Axle, and 83"x16' Triple Axle Dump trailers with the 621-scissor hoist option. Under heavy loads, the bolts that attach the hydraulic cylinder clevis to the scissor hoist can break.

Most Recent Complaints
235-75-17.5 load rating J. Speed rating L. These are trailer tires. I pitched them brand new and had them installed by a local tire shop. I have purchased a total of four tires and every one blew out. These tires have lasted from 100 miles up to 2000 miles. Every tire has had the same symptom. The tire explodes and the tread comes off in one piece. These tires have been checked many times right before they have exploded without showing any signs of wear or defect. All tires have been inflated to their operation pressures listed on the tire. When they explode, it is extremely violent and drags the trailer to one side. Luckily, I haven’t had anyone next to me when this happens. I am a skilled professional driver, but for someone that isn’t, this can cause an accident very easily. I have two of the tires that failed and is available for inspection. I feel these tires are being sold as new virgin tires, but are actually recap tires. The tire sellers information is being hidden from me by Amazon.
