Fontaine Trailer Company
The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PLATFORM TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH KING PINS MARKED WITH CHA, CHN, & CHP AND SUPPLIED TO FONTAINE BY TEFACO. THE KING PIN SEPARATES AS SOON AS THE TRAILER IS APPLIED, ALLOWING THE TRAILER TO SEPARATE FROM THE TOW VEHICLE.
Risk
IF A TRAILER SEPARATES FROM THE TOWING VEHICLE, A CRASH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE COULD OCCUR.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE KING PINS.
