Defect
On certain pneumatic trailers equipped with optional aluminum front end frames, a crack can develop near a weld in the front end frame.
Safety risk
Over time, the crack can propagate through one of the front frame rails eventually causing failure of the rail, which would result in excessive deflection of the front frame, and possibly result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and repair the cracked frames or replace the frame if necessary free of charge. The recall began on may 25, 2007. Owners may contact polar at 1-800-826-6589.
