⚠️ What's wrong
Super Test Corporation (Super Test) is recalling certain model year 2012 Alumadump aluminum trailers, model AL6096, manufactured from September 2011 through April 2012, sold exclusively through the Home Depot. The weld that connects the tongue to the trailer frame can fail under stress.
💥 The risk
A trailer that separates from the towing vehicle while in use may be a significant road hazard, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Super Test will notify owners and will offer a full refund for each of the affected trailers. The safety recall began on December 14, 2012. Owners may contact Super Test at 1-815-623-8400. Owners should not contact the Home Depot.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
