TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 RELIANCE TRANSFER TRAILER CHASSIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRAME OF THE TRAILER CONSTANTLY CRACKED. THE FAILURE HAD BEEN REPAIRED FIVE TIMES. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE HITCH BRAKE FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE TRAILER WAS REPAIRED, YET THE FAILURE PERSISTS. NO OTHER VEHICLE INFORMATION WAS APPLICABLE.
ON CERTAIN TRANSFER TRAILER CHASSIS, THE DRAWBAR HINGE ASSEMBLIES AT THE FRONT OF THE TURNTABLE MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED OR IMPROPERLY TIGHTENED DURING ASSEMBLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS SITUATION MAY ALLOW THE BOLT TO BACK OUT OF THE TAPERED HINGE, ALLOWING THE PIN TO WORK OUT OF THE HINGE ASSEMBLY, COMPROMISING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TRAILER DRAWBAR AND THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: INSPECTION OF THE TRAILERS AND REPLACEMENT AND/OR TIGHTENING OF THE BOLT IN THE DRAWBAR HINGE ASSEMBLIES WILL BE PERFORMED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 14, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT RELIANCE AT 1-800-493-8560.
