STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Aluma KLM (Aluma) is recalling certain 2021 8214HSTILT trailers. The front latch rivet nuts may not remain secure, causing the angle mounting bracket to become loose.
- What it can cause
- A loose angle mounting bracket may disengage, and cause the trailer bed to tilt unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install new mounting hardware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 21, 2021. Owners may contact Aluma's customer service at 1-866-415-3285.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 160 vehicles this is a small campaign: 64% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Aluma KLM with NHTSA on October 6, 2021 as campaign 21V777000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
