Problem High Altitude Trailer Co, LLC (HATC) is recalling certain 2019-2020 XT50 trailers retrofitted with a black rear swing arm spare tire carrier. The weld on the retrofitted rear swing arm bracket may fail causing the rear swing arm, spare tire, and any other attached items to break away from the trailer frame. Risk If the rear swing arm spare tire carrier bracket weld fails, the spare tire may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix HATC has notified owners, and dealers will add reinforcing welds along the top seam of the swing arm bracket and trailer frame, free of charge. For customers not in the immediate region, the manufacturer will coordinate with a local welding repair shop to add the welds and reimburse the shop directly. The recall began July 28, 2020. Owners may contact HATC customer service at 1-720-391-6685. HATC's number for this recall is 2020G27.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 2020G27 is the number High Altitude Trailer assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 20V432000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
