Summary

Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing is recalling 48 of its 2025 trailers, including models 14RB, 14RD, 16RB, and 16RD. The recall was issued because the winch mounting hardware might be undersized, which could cause the winch to break away from the trailer. Owners are encouraged to take their trailers to an authorized dealer for a free inspection and repair of the mounting hardware. Notification letters were sent to known owners on April 17, 2025.

Risk

A winch that detaches from the trailer can cause cargo to fall off while in motion. This creates a serious hazard on the road for other drivers and significantly increases the risk of a vehicle crash or injuries.
