What's wrong?
The coupler on a 2022 Legend Manufacturing Tv or EV trailer is the metal hitch assembly at the front of the trailer. It locks onto the tow vehicle's hitch ball and carries the pull, braking, and turning forces between the trailer and the tow vehicle. That connection has to stay rigid and fully welded while the trailer is moving.
On affected trailers, the 14K RAM A-FRAME COUPLER was not fully welded during manufacturing. The assembly was only spot-welded, so the welds that should secure the coupler were left incomplete. Under towing loads, that weak joint can separate and let the trailer detach from the tow vehicle.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not rely on noise, looseness, or visible movement to prove the coupler is safe before inspection.
Who's affected?
Tv and EV trailers share the same 14K RAM A-FRAME COUPLER called out in the recall.

What's the safety risk?
A failed coupler can let the trailer separate from the tow vehicle, which raises crash risk. Schedule the coupler inspection and replacement soon, and avoid towing the trailer until the dealer checks it. Repair is free at any franchised Legend Manufacturing dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Legend Manufacturing Tv or EV trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Legend Manufacturing dealer to schedule the free coupler inspection and replacement that fixes the improperly welded hitch connection.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Legend Manufacturing technician or authorized service representative inspects the trailer coupler for incorrect welding and replaces the coupler when the weld condition is found. The inspection, replacement parts, and labor are covered under the recall. If you already paid for a coupler repair within the scope of this defect, you still need the recall inspection. For reimbursement, submit the service invoice to Legend Manufacturing's Warranty Manager so the company can review the prior repair.
