- Summary
- Aluma/KLM is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 5410T and 5410WD trailers manufactured January 1, 2011, to June 1, 2015. Due to missing welds, the trailer tongues may separate from the body of the trailer.
- Consequence
- If the trailer tongue separates, the rear of the tongue retainer and tongue tube will drag on pavement and the trailer will not be properly secured to the tow vehicle, resulting in a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Aluma/KLM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailers for missing welds, adding any missing welds and retrofitting two additional gussets, free of charge. The recall began on September 30, 2016. Owners may contact Aluma/KLM customer service at 1-866-415-3285.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Has your Aluma KLM 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 Aluma KLM dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
