Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just one complaint on file for the 2004 Trailmobile Trailer — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but one recall campaign applies to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

Defect
ON CERTAIN VAN TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH A SPECIFIC BRAKE CHAMBER, THE CHAMBER HAS A PUSHROD LENGTH THAT IS SHORTER THAN RECOMMENDED.
Consequence
THIS COULD RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING FORCE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN EXTENSION COUPLING ON THE BRAKE CHAMBER PUSHROD TO LENGTHEN IT TO THE RECOMMENDED DIMENSION. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 22, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT TRAILMOBILE AT 1-800-823-3181, EXT. 223.

“I DROVE FROM MARYLAND TO NORTH CAROLINA USING MY FLATBED TRAILER WHICH HAS CARLISLE ST205/75015 SURE TRAIL ST TIRES. THE TREAD ON ALL FOUR TIRES WORE OFF THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF EACH TIRE. I DROVE MAINLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD NO ISSUES WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER SEEN WEAR ON A TIRE OF THIS…”
The record is thin — 1 NHTSA complaint — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 1 recall campaign affecting the 2004 Trailmobile Trailer. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
