Issue:
The mounting arm for the air control box, located in front of the left-front axle, could detach from the trailer. This could cause it to fall from the trailer and drag on the road or be run-over. As a result, the tires could be damaged or the trailer could tip suddenly.Safety Risk:
A trailer that tips suddenly could lose its load and cause a crash or injure a person nearby. A damaged tire could fail and increase the risk of a crash.Corrective Actions:
Doepker will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicles to a dealer to install a support bracket on the control box arm. If the trailer must be used before the recall repairs are completed, the control box arm should be inspected for cracks at least two times each day.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Doepker: 13 in the register, and 594 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2019.
