What’s wrong with it?
IF SPRINGS FALL FROM THE TRAILER WHILE THE TRAILER IS OPERATING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SPRINGS CAN BECOME ROAD HAZARDS TO OTHER VEHICLES SHARING THE ROADWAY.
A ONE-PIECE SPRING HANGER/STEP USED FOR HANGING THE SPRINGS CAN FATIGUE AND BREAK.
IF THE STEP BREAKS, ONE OR MORE OF THE SPRINGS CAN FALL FROM THE TRAILER WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
