What NHTSA recorded

Inadequate welding of full width tire protection plate that is welded to bottom of crossmembers in tire area, can allow plate to loosen and fall. Consequence of defect: if welds fail, a sudden force could cause the tire protector plate to become completely detached. If this happens, there is a possibility that the plate could get caught in the tractor drive tires, causing a potential jack knife condition which could result in equipment damage or personal injury.

Remedy

Inspect and make necessary repairs to ensure secure welding of the tire protection plate.
