Reported risk: On certain vehicles, improper spot weld positioning of the cross member filler plate reduces clearance between the wheel and the front frame cross member. This can result in the tire rubbing the metal frame, causing loss of tire tread, overheating and possible tire failure. This can in turn result in loss of proper towing of the trailer or loss of tow vehicle maneuvering, creating the potential for a vehicle crash. Correction: Trailers will be inspected and if the condition exists, the tires will be removed and the metal filler plate will be cut down to maintain adequate clearance between the tire and front frame cross member.
