Recalls for OEM Parts Silver Eagle Convertor Dolly

DEFECT #1 - TRAILER HITCHES:FIFTH WHEEL ASSEMBLY

Posted on: 1994-06-20
Description
Two brackets which hold the air reservoir are welded to the sideplate of the non-structural tailframe of the convertor dolly.  A fatigue crack can begin in the sideplate and eventually allow the bracket to break, causing the air reservoir to be supported by the remaining bracket.  This bracket can crack and eventually break, leaving the reservoir supported by hoses and tubing.

Consequence
Without adequate support, the air reservoir will fallfrom the dolly and become a road hazard.

Corrective Action
A structural lower flange will be welded to the bottom of the tailframe sideplates.  The pr-3 pressure protection valve on the air reservoir will be relocated to clear the new flange.
