Defect: Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing, Inc. (Big Tex Trailer) is recalling certain 2024 trailers with defective Goodride ST 200 tires.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the tires as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 12, 2024. Owners may contact Big Tex Trailer customer service at 1-800-594-5637.
