What's wrong?
The lower cylinder mount on the 2019-2020 Trail King Tkhdg paver trailer is the bracket area where the hydraulic lift cylinder attaches to the gooseneck structure. The cylinder raises and lowers the trailer for loading and unloading, and the mount has to hold that force without letting the gooseneck flex beyond its design.
On affected trailers, insufficient reinforcement around the lower cylinder mount radius lets that area flex and fatigue over time. The welds and surrounding metal can crack, especially when the trailer sees repeated loading through the gooseneck. If the mount breaks during loading or unloading, the trailer can drop suddenly.
What you can notice before failure is cracking around the cylinder mounting plate. Small cracks can be visible on the outside or underneath the gooseneck during inspection.
Who's affected?
The lower cylinder mount part number differs by model year: 100302187 for 2020 and 100302666 for 2019.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the trailer drops suddenly during loading or unloading, anyone nearby faces a higher injury risk. Inspect the gooseneck area for small cracks on the bottom side of the cylinder mounting plate and stop loading until a dealer checks it. Repair is free at any franchised Trail King dealer.
