- Summary
- On certain transfer trailer chassis, the drawbar hinge assemblies at the front of the turntable may have been incorrectly assembled or improperly tightened during assembly.
- Consequence
- This situation may allow the bolt to back out of the tapered hinge, allowing the pin to work out of the hinge assembly, compromising the connection between the trailer drawbar and the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Inspection of the trailers and replacement and/or tightening of the bolt in the drawbar hinge assemblies will be performed. The recall began on February 14, 2007. Owners may contact reliance at 1-800-493-8560.

Has your Reliance Trailer been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Reliance Trailer dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
