What's wrong?
The shackle nut on the 2025 Amo Utility Trailer is a critical suspension fastener. It clamps the axle bracket to the axle bolt, keeping the axle tied to the trailer chassis while the suspension moves over bumps and road vibration. That nut has to stay locked in place, because the axle depends on those fasteners to remain attached to the frame.
On affected trailers, the nut's locking feature does not grip the axle bolt as intended. Normal trailer movement and vibration can let the nut loosen over time. If the fastener backs off far enough, the axle is no longer secured to the chassis and can detach from the trailer.
Drivers can notice trailer sway or noise from the loose axle before the fastener failure becomes more serious. Treat either sign as a reason to stop using the trailer until the shackle nuts are inspected and replaced.

What should I do?

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Amo technician removes the shackle nuts securing the axle to the chassis and installs new shackle nuts. The repair, parts, and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid because a shackle nut came loose and had to be reinstalled, Amo will cover the previous repair cost up to $60. Contact Amo customer service with your repair documentation to start the claim.
