Complaint Summary
STRUCTURE:BODY
Owner Narrative
When the chassis is in the 20-foot configuration, the mid-beam of the chassis may bend or crack when fully loaded or when the 20-foot container is overloaded. Bending of the chassis makes it difficult to remove the container, and it is a precursor to future cracking if not remedied. If cracking occurs during operation, the retracted landing gears will contact the road and the gooseneck portion of the trailer will be at a severe upward angle. Continued travel under this condition could result in complete failure of the trailer, and if the twist locks connecting the trailer to the container fail or are not engaged the load could be separated from the tractor and/or the trailer, resulting in an increased risk of a crash.
