Certain fifth wheel trailers were manufactured with insufficient crossmember support of the chassis frame rails. Over time the frame rails will flex excessively causing fatigue cracks. The cracking of the frame rails will allow the trailer to sway excessively from side to side while underway. This could lead to a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install an additional crossmember behind the rear shackles of the frame to brace to two sides.
