What’s wrong with it?
Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
Reiser Manufacturing (Reiser) is recalling certain 2022 WCH, LSA, LTA, L, SBS, and LATV trailers.
The coupler was improperly welded, which may cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.

What the record doesn’t say

- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
