Issue: On certain brush chipper trailers, the frame could crack under high loads. If this happens, the frame can bend and/or distort and cause poor handling that could result in a loss of control. Safety Risk: A loss of control could create the…

Issue: Certain brush chipper trailers were built with wheels that have an incorrect wheel nut contact area. As a result, the wheel nuts could loosen over time and fall off. The wheels can also develop possible cracks causing the tire to lose air…

Issue: On certain brush chipper trailers, the mounting bolts that attach the axle assembly to the frame may not be properly tightened. As a result, the bolts could loosen and cause the axle to detach from the trailer. Safety Risk: An axle that…

Issue: Certain brush chipper trailers were built with wheels that have an incorrect wheel nut contact area. As a result, the wheel nuts could loosen over time and fall off. If this happens, a wheel could separate from the trailer. Safety Risk: A…

On certain trailers, the spring brake check valve may not have been manufactured correctly. This could result in a delay in the application of the spring brakes, which after decoupling from the tractor, could increase the risk of a trailer rollaway,…

Certain brush chipper and stump cutter units may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retro reflective Devices. During manufacturing, the side marker LED lights installed did not include a…

On certain brush chipper units, a weld joint on the unit's frame where the tube-tongue intersects the plate-frame front cross member may have been undercut during manufacturing. This could create a high stress factor on the tube-tongue at the start/stop…

On certain trailers, the tires could come into contact with fender when the suspension fully compresses. This could result in tire damage and could adversely affect vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property…

On certain brush chipper units, the mounting flanges for the discharge chute could crack or fail due to stress and/or fatigue. This could result in the chute separating from the brush chipper while the unit is being towed down a roadway, creating a road…

On certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, welds normally applied to the suspension pivot bolts as a secondary means of securement may have been omitted at time of assembly. This could allow the bolts to loosen, which could result in partial axle…

On certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, the brake hose may become damaged when raising and lowering the kingpin assembly. This could cause the air line to wear, potentially resulting in an air leak. Air leakage could result in partial loss of…

Certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers fail to conform to the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 – Air Brake Systems. The brake booster valve may have been installed incorrectly during vehicle assembly. As such, the brake…

On certain horizontal grinder units equipped with a DT6 dolly transport system, the trailer king pin may not have been installed correctly during the vehicle assembly process. This could cause the fifth wheel hitch assembly and/or the trailer king pin…

On certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, the brake hose on the third axle (rear-most axle) may become damaged during suspension travel, which could result in a loss of air pressure to the air brakes. Rapid air loss would allow spring brake…

On certain units, the axle to frame mounting bolts were improperly tightened during assembly and could loosen. This could cause the axle to shift or become separated from the trailer chassis, resulting in poor vehicle handling characteristics or a loss…
