What NHTSA recorded

The chassis and box can separate from the drawbar causing a loss of control which could result in a crash.

Remedy

Trailer owners will inspect the welds where the sloped frame 'nose' welds to the horizontal main frame rails. If cracks are found, a frame update kit will be sent to the owners to have the repairs performed locally. The recall began on decemer 20, 2007. Owners may contat truck equipment at 1-402-476-3225.
