The problem

Big tex is recalling certain model year 2010 14gx and 14lx dump trailers manufactured from march 20 through may 11, 2010. The 7' ramps used for loading and unloading equipment are not sufficient in strength for the weight loads of the trailers.

The risk

If the ramps are used to load or unload a piece of equipment that exceeds the weight rating of the ramps, the ramps could bend or fail, possibly resulting in injury.

The fix

Big tex will notify owners and will exchange the ramps with properly weight rated ramps free of charge. The safety recall began on june 7, 2010. Owners may contact big tex toll-free at 1-800-594-5637.

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
