SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
- The defect
- Lode-King Industries, Ltd (Lode-King) is recalling certain 2019, 2021-2023 Lode King AHV45-3 and 2024 Prestige AHV50-3 trailers equipped with a 2S2M or 4S2M ABS system. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) computer may have reversed sensor connections. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- In the event of a wheel-lockup, the ABS computer may activate the air brakes on the opposite side of the trailer, reducing braking effectiveness and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will correct the ABS computer connections, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 05, 2024. Owners may contact Lode-King customer service at 1-204-325-4345 or 1-866-797-0669 (toll free).
- 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 6 vehicles this is a small campaign: 94% 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 2019 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 23V794000 (structure).
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 18, 2024 as campaign 24V021000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
