Reported risk: On certain aluminium platform semi-trailers, cracks may develop in the structural web connected to the coupling plate of the trailer in the area below the crossmember that is bolted to the web of the frame and to the coupler. Through continued use, the coupling plate could separate from the frame web, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Coupling plate assemblies will be removed and replaced by redesigned coupling plate assemblies and all cracked frame webs will be repaired. In the interim, owners/operators should immediately proceed with a visual inspection of the frame web on each side of the coupling plate of their trailers in their fleets to look for signs of cracks.
