What NHTSA recorded

Cracks may develop in the welding of the structural support around the fifth wheel king pin. Consequence of defect: the fifth wheel king pin could pull out allowing the trailer to break loose. This could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.

Remedy

Reweld cracked areas around the king pin structurals and add support bars.
