0 EASYWORK TRAILERS Eco 2

Category: Trailer · Supplier: Unknown

Recall date: 16 March 2015

Defect

Under heavy use the coupling head and coupling shaft may develop slackness. This may create extra stress on the locking pin which may shear. The shaft could then rotate in the coupling head, unscrew and detach.

Hazard

If the coupling head unscrews and detaches from the coupling shaft, only the safety chains will attach the trailer to the tow vehicle and this can create an unstable tow situation, which could poses an accident hazard to the driver and other road users.

Remedy

Consumer should inspect the coupling for evidence of excessive wear and contact their place of purchase to receive a replacement.
