PJ Trailers: Trailer Models LD, LY, LX, LS, CC, DD, TJ, and TS Recalled for Coupler Separation

Summary

PJ Trailers is recalling approximately 4,905 trailers from the 2022-2024 model years, including models LD, LY, LX, LS, CC, DD, TJ, and TS. These trailers are equipped with a Demco EZ Latch Gooseneck Coupler where the mounting bolts can loosen over time. If the bolts loosen, the coupler can completely separate from the inner tube while in use, which can lead to the trailer disconnecting from the towing vehicle. PJ Trailers will have dealers replace the couplers for affected owners free of charge.

Risk

The coupler mounting bolts may loosen, causing the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle while driving. This disconnection significantly increases the risk of a crash on the road.
