Issue

Issue:
The mounting arm for the air control box, located in front of the left-front axle, could detach from the trailer. This could cause it to fall from the trailer and drag on the road or be run-over. As a result, the tires could be damaged or the trailer could tip suddenly.

Safety Risk:
A trailer that tips suddenly could lose its load and cause a crash or injure a person nearby. A damaged tire could fail and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
Doepker will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicles to a dealer to install a support bracket on the control box arm. If the trailer must be used before the recall repairs are completed, the control box arm should be inspected for cracks at least two times each day.
