What's wrong?
The spare tire winch on the 2023-2024 Diamond C Trailers Fmax, Px, and Sdx trailers is the mechanical holder that lifts and secures the spare tire under or against the trailer. A cable, bracket, and winch keep the tire tight so it stays in place while the trailer moves. The system depends on steady tension and a bracket strong enough to hold the tire's weight.
On affected trailers, the winch system can loosen or fail over time. Diamond C Trailers identified three possible contributors: no proper tensioning spring, an installation that left the winch under-tightened, or an undersized securement bracket. If the tire is not held firmly, it can lower during travel or detach from the trailer.
You can inspect the spare tire area before towing. The warning sign is visible movement: the tire hangs away from the trailer, sits loose in the winch system, or moves when you push or pull on it. A trailer with the remedy has a visible secondary retention device, a steel bar and latch that holds the tire in place.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Diamond C Trailers technician installs a secondary retention device for the spare tire winch, using a steel bar and latch to help keep the spare tire secured to the trailer. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you paid out of pocket to fix or attempt to fix the spare tire winch binding issue before Diamond C Trailers issued owner notifications, Diamond C Trailers agrees to reimburse that repair attempt.
