Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing affected trailers are equipped with a fold flat ramp gate system.
The short version
Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing, Inc. reported a problem with the latches/locks/linkages. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected trailers are equipped with a fold flat ramp gate system. Vibrations from towing the trailer may cause the ramp gate latches to fail.
Should both ramp gate latches fail while the trailer is in tow, the ramp gate will fall from the upright, stowed position into the down position, and be dragged behind the trailer. This could result in an increased risk of a crash.
Big Tex will notify owners, and dealers will install a supplemental gate latch, free of charge.
