## What the record says

- **Product**: BIG TEX 16GN (2019) - Recall 22V498000
- **Reason**: Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing, Inc. (Big Tex Trailer) is recalling certain 2003-2022 16GN trailers. The spare tire mount allows the spare tire to vibrate, which can cause the joint between the spare tire mount and the trailer to fatigue and eventually fail. Spare tire mount failure can allow the spare tire to detach from the trailer and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- **Classification**: Not supplied
- **Recalling firm**: Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing, Inc.
