The problem

Vehicle description: travel and fifth wheel trailers. The fasteners used on the underfloor can either come loose or pull through the underfloor causing portions or all of a section of underfloor to detach from the vehicle.

The risk

If this occurred, the section could fall to the pavement, potentially causing a crash for following vehicles.
