Defect: Load Trail LLC (Load Trail) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 81.5 x 22 Triple Axle Tilt Deck trailers manufactured January 1, 2014, to January 1, 2016. The affected trailers, sold through Altec for use in transporting TDA58 Articulating Telescopic Aerial Devices, have weld joints that may crack where the front bumper, frame, and the stationary deck are joined.
Consequence: If the welds fail, the equipment may disengage from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Load Trail will notify owners, and dealers will repair the weld joints on the trailers, free of charge. The recall began on September 21, 2016. Owners may contact Load Trail customer service at 1-800-650-5194.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
