Issue
On certain trailers, there is an error in the vehicle identification number (VIN). The 14th digit of the VIN was incorrectly listed as "4", instead of "3". As a result, the trailer manufacturer cannot be properly identified using the VIN. Canadian regulations provide a format the VIN number that must be followed.
Safety risk
This error could cause confusion when trying to identify the trailer using the VIN.
Corrective actions
Lorne's Welding will provide each owner with a letter to explain this error. You should keep this letter with your trailer to provide proof of this error, and help answer any questions about it.
