TRAILER HITCHES
- The defect
- Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing, Inc. (Big Tex Trailer) is recalling certain 2022 50SR and 70SR trailers. The coupler was improperly welded, which may cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.
- What it can cause
- Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the coupler as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 1, 2022. Owners may contact Big Tex Trailer's customer service at 1-800-594-5637.
- 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 690 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 54% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, 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 Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing, Inc. with NHTSA on April 8, 2022 as campaign 22V229000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
