Charles Machine Works Inc (Charles Machine) is recalling certain 2018 Ditch Witch VT17, 2018-2019 VT20 and VT24 trailers. The lock nuts that attach the hitch to the trailer may be insufficient to clamp the load after the hitch height has been adjusted. Without a sufficient clamp load, the hitch may unexpectedly detach from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
