What NHTSA recorded

Due to improper and inadequate welding practices, the fifth wheel on the involved vehicles is defective. Frame mounted supports may have incomplete or poor quality welds. The welds could subsequently fail allowing separation of the tractor from the trailer.

Remedy

The dealer will inspect and remove the fifth wheel and reweld the mounting angles at no charge to the owner.
