Defect description

ON CERTAIN 'ROCK PUP' 3 AXLE TRAILERS WITH 16' DUMP BOXES, CRACKS CAN DEVELOP IN THE WELDS WHICH HOLD THE 'NOSE' OF THE FRAME TO THE MAIN CHASSIS. THE 16' BOX MOUNT CAUSES A STEEL FRAME PLATE TO BE SHORTENED CAUSING A REDUCTION IN STRENGTH.

IF CRACKS ARE FOUND, A FRAME UPDATE KIT WILL BE SENT TO THE OWNERS TO HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED LOCALLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMER 20, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTAT TRUCK EQUIPMENT AT 1-402-476-3225.
