Risk: If the safety chains fail in the event of a detachment, the trailer would separate from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Risk: If the axle is overloaded, excess tire wear may result, possibly causing tire failure and an increased risk of a crash.
Fix: All of the affected trailers have been quarantined at dealers and therefore owner notification letters will not be sent.

When connected to certain tow vehicles that have an integrated brake controller, and after the anti-sway system has applied the trailer brakes in response to a sway event, the trailer brakes may no longer function to slow or stop the trailer.
