Problem Lode-King Industries LTD. (Lode-King) is recalling certain 2015-2021 Prestige SDG53-2 step-deck semi-trailers. The cargo securing winches may not be properly mounted to the trailer. As a result, the cargo winch mount could fail and allow cargo to come loose. Risk If the mount fails, the cargo or load can fall off the trailer and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Lode-King will notify owners, and dealers will replace the cargo winches with an updated version, free of charge. The recall began April 30, 2020. Owners may contact Lode-King customer service at 1-204-325-4345.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 2020-171 is the number Lode King assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 20V230000 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.
