Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2025 ATC PLA550 Bumper Pull vehicles. The power wire from the battery to the stabilizer jacks may be wired incorrectly without over current circuit protection.

Risk / consequence

Wiring without circuit protection may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.

Dealers will inspect and repair the wiring and install a 30 AMP fuse, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 9, 2025. Owners may call ATC customer service at 1-877-441-2440 ext. 342.

Chronology of events

1. Apr 28, 2025

   4/28/25 ATC inspected and repaired the unit. They found that there was no circuit over-current protection at the power wire running from the battery to the stabilizer jacks. They added a 12v 30amp fuse to the power wire between the battery and the stabilizer jacks. An investigation was started on

2. Apr 29, 2025

   4/29/25 and it was found that in March a wiring change was made after Lippert made a recommendation to change our wiring to meet their specifications. ATC did not realize circuit over-current protection was needed on the power wire from the battery to the stabilizer jacks when implementing this change. Once this was found on 4/29/25 production immediately started adding the 12v 30amp fuse to the wire on any PLA550 bumper pull unit with stabilizer jacks. On 5/6/25 a meeting was held to determine if a recall needed to be initiated for safety and it was determined it was.
