Reported risk: THE BOLTS USED TO ATTACH THE GLADHAND CONNECTOR PLATES TO THE GLADHANDS MAY BE DEFECTIVE DUE TO HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT. IF THE BOLTS FAIL, THEN THE GLADHAND CONNECTOR PLATE CAN BECOME LOOSE ALLOWING THE SEAL TO BE BROKEN BETWEEN THE TOWING VEHICLE AND THE TRAILER. THIS WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF TRAILER BRAKES AND COULD RESULT IN APPLICATION OF THE TRAILER EMERGENCY SPRING BRAKES. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND GLADHAND FASTENERS WILL BE REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
