What is wrong
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.
What can happen
THE CHASSIS AND BOX CAN SEPARATE FROM THE DRAWBAR CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
TRAILER OWNERS WILL INSPECT THE WELDS WHERE THE SLOPED FRAME 'NOSE' WELDS TO THE HORIZONTAL MAIN FRAME RAILS. 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.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
