CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: OVERLOADED TIRES COULD BLOWOUT CAUSING THE TRAILER TO SWERVE AND EVENTUALLY BREAK ITS HITCH; THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
REPLACE WHEEL ASSEMBLIES AND ADJUST AXLE RATING, AS NECESSARY; ALSO, INSTALL STICKER SHOWING CORRECT RATING OF REPLACEMENT TIRES.
SYSTEM: WHEEL ASSEMBLY.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 60 KW QUIET SITE TRAILER.
