Summary

Lode-King Industries, Ltd. is recalling 114 trailers, specifically the 2019-2026 SDG53-3, SDF53-3, and SDF50-3 models, because the rear impact guards may be missing essential welds. These missing welds reduce the guard's structural strength, causing the vehicles to fail federal safety standards for rear impact protection. Lode-King will inspect all affected trailers and add the necessary welds at no cost to owners.

Risk

A rear impact guard with inadequate structural strength may fail to protect a vehicle that crashes into the back of the trailer, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury or death during a rear-end collision.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your trailer's model and year to see if it is a 2019-2026 SDG53-3, SDF53-3, or SDF50-3 model.
  2. Contact Lode-King's customer service at 1-204-325-4345 or 1-866-797-0669 to arrange for a free inspection and repair of the rear impact guard welds.
  3. Starting May 22, 2026, you can search for your specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA.gov website to confirm if your trailer is included in this recall.
  4. Look for an official owner notification letter, which is expected to be mailed by Lode-King on May 4, 2026.
  5. Call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information regarding this recall.
