| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Atv trailer on highway in tow with atv secured. one of 5 ramps suddenly fell off trailer while in motion. spot welds on ramp pins failed allowing hinge pins to work out and fall upon road and ramp dropping to road. 3 pins appx. 8" long and several pounds dropped to road while in motion and 3'x4' appx. size ramp dropping to road. unknown if pins hit or damaged anything as i was traveling. retrieved ramp and two of three pins. poor welds broke allowing pins to work their way out. upon inspection of pins and hinge body i found spot welds were poorly done and no angle of weld on pins were made-just surface adhesion. inspection of remaining pins show weld stress and eventually will fail. have not repaired yet and pins are still available for inspection- i will repair this problem if not advised to hold parts or wait for inspection this could have become a deadly danger to other motorist. manufacturer name wooddriver outfitters firm # f108542m03 item 6x12 utility trailer (atv) note: above information is correct for manufacture-your website wouldn't allow me to proceed without entering wrong name as this isn't on list of manufactures vehicle page may have incorrect info on it thank you. *tr |
