ON CERTAIN FLATBED UTILITY TRAILERS, THERE IS AN INSUFFICIENT WELD OF THE RAMP HANGER POCKETS THAT STORE THE RAMPS WHEN NOT IN USE ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT UNDERSIDE OF THE TRAILER BED. IF THE WELD IS INSUFFICIENT, IT COULD CAUSE THE RAMP HANGER POCKET TO DETACH, DROPPING THE RAMP TO THE GROUND OR ROADWAY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A FAILURE OF THE RAMP HANGER POCKETS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE TO INCLUDE PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR BOTH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND ADD TWO 'HAT BRACKETS' (ONE UNDER EACH HANGER POCKET) BY BOLTING THE BRACKET TO THE UNDERSIDE OF EACH AFFECTED TRAILER TO FURTHER SECURE THE RAMP POCKETS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 15, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BIG TEX TRAILERS AT 1-800-594-5637.
