Certain trailers, when operated under severe conditions, experience excessive flexing and'/or twisting of the chassis structure that supports and secures the center axle hangers. This condition will cause abnormal tire wear and tearing of the of the chassis main rails which in turn can lead to a loss of vehicle control and a possible crash. Correction: Trailers will be equipped with a main rail gusset and a cross chassis stiffener will be installed.
