What is wrong: On certain 'rock pup' 3 axle trailers with 16' dump boxes, cracks can develop in the welds which hold the 'nose' of the frame to the main chassis. The 16' box mount causes a steel frame plate to be shortened causing a reduction in strength.
Risk: The chassis and box can separate from the drawbar causing a loss of control which could result in a crash.
Remedy: Trailer owners will inspect the welds where the sloped frame 'nose' welds to the horizontal main frame rails. If cracks are found, a frame update kit will be sent to the owners to have the repairs performed locally. The recall began on decemer 20, 2007. Owners may contat truck equipment at 1‑402‑476‑3225.
