Defect. 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.

Remedy. DEALERS ARE REPLACING THE SPRING SETS ON THESE TRAILERS.

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.
