The problem
THE WELDS USED TO HOLD THE MAIN FOLDING HINGE TO THE SIDE FRAME MEMBERS WERE EITHER OMITTED OR TEMPORARY TACK WELDS RATHER THAN COMPLETE WELDS WERE USED.
Risk
THE REAR HINGE CAN SEPARATE FROM THE REAR FRAME CAUSING THE FRAME TO CONTACT THE ROAD SURFACE WHILE THE TRAILER IS TOWED AND CARRYING A MOTORCYCLE.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WELD AND, IF NOT FULLY WELDED, IT WILL BE CLEANED, PREPARED, CORRECTLY WELDED, AND REPAINTED.
