What NHTSA recorded

The flanged "whiz-lock" nuts used to secure the car ramps to the trailer loosen and fall off the bolts. Consequence of defect: the securing bolts will fall out and allow the ramps to fall off the trailer causing a highway hazard to oncoming or trailing traffic which may result in an accident.

Remedy

Send notice and thread deformed type lock nuts and bolts to all owners of trailers suspected of having the flanged "whiz-lock" nuts.
