Defect. A ONE-PIECE SPRING HANGER/STEP USED FOR HANGING THE SPRINGS CAN FATIGUE AND BREAK. IF THE STEP BREAKS, ONE OR MORE OF THE SPRINGS CAN FALL FROM THE TRAILER WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

Risk. IF SPRINGS FALL FROM THE TRAILER WHILE THE TRAILER IS OPERATING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SPRINGS CAN BECOME ROAD HAZARDS TO OTHER VEHICLES SHARING THE ROADWAY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THIS SPRING/HANGER STEP WITH AN IMPROVED NEW PART.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
