Trailer hitches

What is wrong
On certain low bed trailers equipped with a 2" removable kingpin, the 2" removable kingpin was produced with a single pass weld connecting the mount tube and 2" kingpin. Specifications require a triple pass weld in this area. Abnormal upward force can separate the mounting tube from the 2" kingpin.
Risk
If this 2" removable kingpin is not replaced, the trailer can separate from the tow vehicle and a crash could occur.
Remedy
Owners will be provided with a replacement 2" removable kingpin. Owner notification began during october 2003. Owners should contact trail king at 1‑605‑996‑6482.
