On certain trailer mounted, articulating boom supported, aerial work platforms, the hold-down latches that secure the mast for transport are not being properly latched, causing excessive overload at the tongue and chassis interface of the machine. As a result, structural failure of the tongue tube could occur causing the trailer to become unstable during transport, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Owners will be provided with a tongue reinforcement kit and installation instructions.
