DRIVING DOWN RT 287 IN BRIDGEWATER, NJ AND BOTH BACK LOCKS, ON THE TRAILER, SHEARED OFF ALLOWING THE GATE TO SLAM OPEN AT 65 MPH AND HAVE A LARGE PORTION OF THE PRODUCTS I WAS CARRYING. EVERYTHING FROM A LARGE EXECUTIVE DESK, TO A LAZY-BOY-CHAIR AND SOME KITCHEN ITEMS ALL CAME CRASHING DOWN INTO THE STREET WITH THE BACK GATE NOW OPEN. THE CHAIR AND DESK WAS SMASHED TO BITS.

Reported: 2013-10-17 (October 17, 2013)
Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing (Big Tex) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 10PI, 12PI, 14PI, 29SA, 30AA, 30LS, 30SA, 30SV, 35AA, 35LS, 35SA, 35SV, 45LA, 45SS, 50LA, 50SA, 60SP, 70LR, 70PI, 70SP, and 70TV utility trailers manufactured March 2013, through September 30, 2013. The affected trailers are equipped with a fold flat ramp gate system. Vibrations from towing the trailer may cause the ramp gate latches to fail.
Consequence: Should both ramp gate latches fail while the trailer is in tow, the ramp gate will fall from the upright, stowed position into the down position, and be dragged behind the trailer. This could result in an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Big Tex will notify owners, and dealers will install a supplemental gate latch, free of charge. The recall began on December 10, 2013. Owners may contact Big Tex at 1-800-594-5637.
