What are the defects?
The mechanical couplings installed may not be suitable for the vertical load as per the Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) specified on the compliance plate. If loaded beyond capacity, this could cause the coupler to fail and possibly detach from the vehicle.
What are the hazards?
If the trailer detaches from the vehicle while in motion, it could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected trailers can contact their Freightmore Transport Service as soon as possible to have the correct coupler installed, free of charge.
