What happened

Futura Trailers Ltd is recalling certain 2016-2018 Low Loader trailers because the left and right drawbars may disconnect from the front rail of the trailer chassis, allowing them to swing and sever the trailer's brake and light wires. When these wires are severed, the brakes or brake lights can fail, increasing the risk of a crash.

Futura will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install an additional aluminum angle bracket to the junction of the left and right draw-bar at no charge. Affected consumers should contact Futura customer service at 1-855-744-3877 to arrange the repair.
