Issue
On certain trailers, the welded joint between the aluminum cross member and frame beam may be inadequate and could crack. If the weld cracks are not detected and allowed to propagate, other areas of the frame structure may also crack. This could eventually cause the suspension to loosen from the frame, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the trailers and replace the cross member with one of a different design.
