Defect: Lode-King Industries, Ltd (Lode-King) is recalling certain 2019, 2021-2023 Lode King AHV45-3 and 2024 Prestige AHV50-3 trailers equipped with a 2S2M or 4S2M ABS system. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) computer may have reversed sensor connections. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Consequence: In the event of a wheel-lockup, the ABS computer may activate the air brakes on the opposite side of the trailer, reducing braking effectiveness and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will correct the ABS computer connections, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 05, 2024. Owners may contact Lode-King customer service at 1-204-325-4345 or 1-866-797-0669 (toll free).

Consequence: A detached door can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will install a safety decal beside the 2-speed gearbox, and remove and replace the stopper finger, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 6, 2023. Owners may contact Lode-King customer service at 1-204-325-4345.

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.
