United States 94V205000
TRACKER MARINE L.P.
The problem
THESE TRAILERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A "SWING-AWAY" TONGUE THAT FOLDS INTO A 90 DEGREE ANGLE WHEN IN STORAGE. THE HOLES USED FOR THE FASTENERS ARE LARGER THAN NEEDED, CAUSING A LOADED TRAILER TO WEAVE UNSAFELY.
Risk
THE TRAILER SWAYING CAN CAUSE AN OPERATOR TO LOSE CONTROL RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
What owners should do
THE PIVOT BOLT AND HITCH PIN FASTENER HOLES WILL BE ENLARGED TO ACCOMODATE A STEEL BUSHING, WELDED IN PLACE.
