Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing is recalling certain 2013-2014 utility trailers with fold flat ramp gate systems manufactured between March 2013 and September 30, 2013. The affected models include the 10PI, 12PI, 14PI, 29SA, 30AA, 30LS, 30SA, 30SV, 35AA, 35LS, 35SA, 35SV, 45LA, 45SS, 50LA, 50SA, 60SP, 70LR, 70PI, 70SP, and 70TV. Vibrations from towing can cause the ramp gate latches to fail, and if both latches fail while the trailer is being towed, the ramp gate may fall and drag behind the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
To remedy this issue, Big Tex dealers will install a supplemental gate latch on affected trailers at no charge. The recall began December 10, 2013. Owners of affected trailers should contact Big Tex at 1-800-594-5637 to arrange for the free installation of the supplemental latch.
