ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2026 RM500 and RM700 trailers. The wireless handheld remote control may be incompatible with some legacy winches, resulting in unexpected winch movements.
- What it can cause
- A winch that operates unintentionally may increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- ATC will replace the wireless remote or provide a refund, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 7, 2026. Owners may call ATC customer service at 1-877-441-2440.
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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| ATC RM500 | 2026 | Not published here |
| ATC RM700 | 2026 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 2 vehicles this is a small campaign: 98% of the 19,702 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 474. It covers one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
ATC vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 2 times before this, most recently in May 2025 as 25V317000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 26V618000 (trailer hitches).
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 Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) with NHTSA on July 22, 2026 as campaign 26V471000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
