Rolligon is recalling 31 2011-2012 MT-1060, HT-180, MT-1060-HR, HT-270, and TPT-1202-T trailers because a rear suspension hanger is missing a weld at the rear side.

What's wrong?
The rear trailer suspension on the 2011-2012 Rolligon MT-1060, HT-180, MT-1060-HR, HT-270, and TPT-1202-T uses hangers to connect the suspension parts to the trailer frame. Those hangers help hold the axle and suspension in the correct position while the trailer carries load and moves.
On affected trailers, a weld is missing at the rear side of the rear suspension hanger. A weld is the fixed joint that ties the hanger to the structure around it. Without that joint, the hanger has less support than designed, so load and road movement concentrate on the remaining attachment points instead of spreading through the full suspension mount.
There is no warning sign before failure. Look for obvious suspension damage during inspection, but do not treat a normal-looking hanger as proof that the missing weld is not present.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
A missing suspension weld can overstress the remaining welds until the hanger separates from the trailer flange. That separation can make the trailer pull to one side or shift the load, increasing crash risk. Schedule the inspection and weld repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Rolligon dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011-2012 Rolligon MT-1060, HT-180, MT-1060-HR, HT-270, or TPT-1202-T trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact Rolligon at 1-936-873-2600 to confirm the free suspension inspection and weld repair that restores the rear suspension hanger attachment.
- Reference recall number 13V455 when you call.
- Bring the recall notice if Rolligon mailed one, plus any service records related to the rear trailer suspension.
- Stop towing the trailer if it pulls to one side or the load shifts, and arrange service before using it again.
What happens at the repair
At the service appointment, a Rolligon technician inspects each rear trailer suspension assembly for the missing weld at the rear side of the hanger. If the inspection finds the weld problem, Rolligon arranges the needed weld repair for that suspension assembly. The recall filing says owner notification began on September 27, 2013. Because the current remedy status is not listed as available in this source, confirm the repair path for your VIN before moving the trailer for service. The dealer repair will be free once available.

What should I do if my 2011-2012 Rolligon MT-1060, HT-180, MT-1060-HR, HT-270, or TPT-1202-T is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 13V455. If it is, contact Rolligon at 1-936-873-2600 to arrange the suspension inspection and any needed weld repair. The inspection and repair are free.

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. Rolligon will arrange inspection and necessary weld repairs for each affected suspension assembly free of charge.
