The problem
THE ALIGNMENT BOLT WAS NOT TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION.
Risk
THIS UNDERTORQUING CAN ALLOW THE ALIGNMENT BOLT TO LOOSEN AND FALL OUT OF THE ASSEMBLY. ONCE THE BOLT IS GONE, THE SPRING LEAF CAN SHIFT AND EVENTUALLY FALL AWAY FROM THE AXLE ALLOW THE BED OF THE TRAILER TO FALL AGAINST THE TIRE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
What owners should do
DEALERS ARE REPLACING THE SPRING SETS ON THESE TRAILERS.
