Defect: Aluma KLM (Aluma) is recalling certain 2021 8214HSTILT trailers. The front latch rivet nuts may not remain secure, causing the angle mounting bracket to become loose.
Risk: A loose angle mounting bracket may disengage, and cause the trailer bed to tilt unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install new mounting hardware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 21, 2021. Owners may contact Aluma's customer service at 1-866-415-3285.
