ON CERTAIN VAN AND REFRIGERATED SEMI-TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH TUTHILL SUSPENSIONS, MODEL 20/22AR AND RS3162, THE BEAM/AXLE PIVOT CONNECTION JOINT IS MIS-ALIGNED CAUSING EXCESSIVE PLAY WITH THE TRAILER ALLOWING THE TRAILER TO WANDER.
SHOULD THE TRAILER WANDER A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT NOTICE.
