The problem

A one-piece spring hanger/step used for hanging the springs can fatigue and break. If the step breaks, one or more of the springs can fall from the trailer which can cause an accident.

The risk

If springs fall from the trailer while the trailer is operating on the highway, the springs can become road hazards to other vehicles sharing the roadway.

The fix

Dealers will replace this spring/hanger step with an improved new part.
