Reported: 1994-06-20 (June 20, 1994)
AN INADEQUATE WELD IN THE ATTACHMENT OF THE STEEL FLOOR CROSSMEMBERS TO THE ALUMINUM BODY BORDER CAN CRACK UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND RESULT IN A LACK OF LATERAL SUPPORT TO CARGO LOADED ON THE TRAILER.
Consequence: INADEQUATE LATERAL SUPPORT CAN RESULT IN SHIFTING OF CARGO IN THE BED OF THE TRAILER AND POSSIBLE SPILLAGE OF STACKED CARGO OFF THE SIDE OF THE TRAILER BED, CAUSING ROAD HAZARDS AND DANGER TO INDIVIDUALS IN POSITIONS NEXT TO THE TRAILER.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL ADD A STEEL SINGLE CLIP AT EACH END OF EACH FLOOR CROSSMEMBER WITH THE CLIP BEING BOLTED TO THE STEEL CROSSMEMBER WITH TWO EACH 0.375" DIAMETER BOLTS AND BEING BOLTED TO THE ALUMINUM BODY BORDER WITH TWO EACH 0.375" DIAMETER BOLTS. DORSEY WILL WORK WITH OWNERS TO LOCATE A DORSEY DISTRIBUTOR OR ANOTHER TRAILER REPAIR FACILITY IN THE OWNER'S AREA OF OPERATION WHO WILL PERFORM THE REMEDY.
