2002 East Manufacturing PUP recalls
Recall 07V-105: Trailer Hitches
Problem: On certain double pull behind semi-trailers with roller circle converter dolly locks, the snap ring that suspends the dolly lock pin may dislodge allowing the pin to inadvertently engage in the dolly lock tube.
Risk: The tractor/trailer combination could experience handling problems including tipping over of the tractor/trailer combination increasing the risk of a crash and injuries.
Fix: Dealers will change out the existing dolly lock pin with the snap ring and will replace it with a new dolly lock pin assembly with a machined shoulder free of charge. The recall began on may 31, 2007. Owners may contact east at 330-325-9921.
