- The defect
- Lode-King Industries, Ltd. (Lode-King) is recalling certain 2016-2023 Lode King & Prestige SDE and SDF model steel step deck Semi-trailers equipped with a beavertail style ramp. The cargo securement winches located on the rear of the trailer may not be properly welded, causing the winch mount to fail.
- What it can cause
- A cargo winch mount failure can result in falling cargo creating a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will add the missing weld on the end of the winch frame, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 1, 2023. Owners may contact Lode-King/Prestige customer service at 1-866-797-0669 (toll free) or 1-204-325-4345.
- 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 38 vehicles this is a small campaign: 81% 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 model years 2016 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Lode King vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 2 times before this, most recently in June 2020 as 20V345000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V794000 (structure), 20V345000 (equipment), 20V230000 (equipment).
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 Lode-King Industries, Ltd. with NHTSA on January 13, 2023 as campaign 23V009000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
