What NHTSA recorded

On certain van and refrigerated semi-trailers equipped with tuthill suspensions, model 20/22ar and rs3162, the beam/axle pivot connection joint is mis-aligned causing excessive play with the trailer allowing the trailer to wander.

Possible consequence

Should the trailer wander a vehicle crash could occur without notice.

Remedy

Great dane is working with tuthill to notify the owners of the affected vehicles and provide free remedy. Owners may contact tuthill at 800-753-0025 or great dane at 912-644-2100.
