Defect description

ON CERTAIN TRANSFER TRAILER CHASSIS, THE DRAWBAR HINGE ASSEMBLIES AT THE FRONT OF THE TURNTABLE MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED OR IMPROPERLY TIGHTENED DURING ASSEMBLY.

Manufacturer remedy

INSPECTION OF THE TRAILERS AND REPLACEMENT AND/OR TIGHTENING OF THE BOLT IN THE DRAWBAR HINGE ASSEMBLIES WILL BE PERFORMED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 14, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT RELIANCE AT 1-800-493-8560.
