Why was it recalled?
Lode-King Industries, Ltd (Lode-King) is recalling certain 2019-2026 SDG53-3, SDF53-3, and SDF50-3 trailers. The rear impact guard may be missing welds, reducing the guard's structural strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 223, "Rear Impact Guards."
Consequence
A guard with inadequate strength may not sufficiently protect a following vehicle, increasing the risk of injury during a rear end crash.
