The problem
Improper weld procedures were used to attach the tongue channel to the trailer frame.
The risk
Possible separation of the tongue from the trailer could occur increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will install four bolts to reinforce the tongue channel weld to the frame.
