The short answer

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

SHOULD THE SPARE TIRE DETACH ITSELF FROM THE CARRIER WHILE THE TRAILER IS IN MOTION, A CRASH MAY RESULT.

ON CERTAIN AIR COMPRESSOR TRAILERS, THE SPARE TIRE MOUNT MAY FAIL AT ONE OR MORE OF THE WELDS ON THE UPRIGHT BAR RESULTING IN THE SPARE TIRE COMING LOOSE AND FALLING FROM THE TRAILER.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
