The problem
Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing, Inc. (Big Tex Trailer) is recalling certain 14RB, 14RD, 16RB, and 16RD trailers. The winch mounting hardware may be undersized and allow the winch to detach from the winch mount.
The risk
A winch that detaches can result in falling cargo, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The fix
