TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 MIRAGE 5TH WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH BCT HI-RUN TIRES, TIRE SIZE LT285/75R16. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND THE TIRES EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRES. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED SEVEN TIMES WITHIN A FOUR MONTH PERIOD, AND FOUR OF THE TIRES CAUSED A BLOWOUT. THE CONTACT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN REACHING THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE TIRES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.
ON CERTAIN FRAME AND FRAMELESS DUMP TRAILERS, THE 8-INCH FIVE STAGE TELESCOPIC CYLINDER COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A "SUPER DUMP", WITH USE THE PACKING NUT ON THE FOURTH STAGE RETAINING THE PLUNGER CAN LOOSEN, BACKING OFF THE FOURTH STAGE. THIS CONDITION, IF NOT REMEDIED, CAN CONTINUE UNTIL THE PACKING NUT BACKS COMPLETELY OFF THE STAGE. IF THIS OCCURS, THERE IS NOTHING TO RETAIN THE FIFTH STAGE (PLUNGER) IN THE ASSEMBLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE CYLINDER IS EXTENDED TO ITS MAXIMUM STROKE, THE FIFTH STAGE CAN SEPARATE FROM THE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE TRAILER, ALLOWING THE TRAILER TO FREE FALL, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: PARKER HANNIFIN WILL PROVIDE A FIELD MODIFICATION KIT #375 1805 206 TO SECURE THE PACKING NUT IN POSITION FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT PARKER HANNIFIN AT 1-888-231-7461 OR MAC TRAILER AT 330-823-9190.
