The problem
CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN SOME LOCKING PIN HOUSINGS WHICH LOCKS THE ADJUSTABLE TANDEM TRAILER AXLE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: CRACKS IN THE LOCKING PIN HOUSING COULD CAUSE IMPROPER LOCKING, AND THE SLIDING TANDEM MAY SEPARATE WITHOUT WARNING WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
What owners should do
REPLACE THE TUBULAR PIN HOUSING WITH A HEAVY BLOCK AND HOUSING TO SUPPORT IT; ALSO INSTALL A REAR GUSSET BETWEEN TRAVEL STOP AND REAR BOLSTER.
