The short version

VANGUARD NATIONAL TRAILER CORPORATION reported a problem with the suspension. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

THE SUSPECT SYSTEMS MAY HAVE MISSING WELDS AT THE INTERFACE OF THE LOWER SEAT BRACKET AND AXLE BEAM.

WHY IT MATTERS

MISSING WELDS COULD ALLOW THE AXLE TO ROLL OUT OF POSITION AND POTENTIALLY IMPACT THE HANDLING OF THE TRAILER SUCH THAT A DRIVER MAY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

WHAT TO DO

THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WILL BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE.
