NHTSA Campaign 95V185000

TRAILER HITCHES

Issued by GREAT DANE TRAILERS, INC. · Reported Oct 3, 1995 · 277 vehicles affected

What's wrong

THE CHAIN TIE ANCHOR MOUNTING WELDS CAN CRACK AND/OR THE CHAIN TIE CAN PULL OUT FROM THE CROSSMEMBER.

Consequence

FAILURE OF THE CHAIN TIE ANCHOR CONNECTION CAN ALLOW A LOAD SECURED TO THE CHAIN TIE TO SHIFT, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL THE CHAIN TIE ANCHORS MOUNTED TO THE ALUMINUM CROSSMEMBERS TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL FASTENING TO THE CROSSMEMBER AND ADDITIONAL WELDING AND REINFORCEMENT OF THE CHAIN TIE ANCHORS ON STEEL CROSSMEMBERS.
