2008 Siebert 40T3AJ recalls
Recall 08V-142: Trailer Hitches
Problem: Kalyn/siebert is recalling 8 my 2007 kalyn lbo-5-60/70t, lbo-4-60t oilfield lowboy trailer and my 2008 siebert 40t3aj trailer equipped with saf-holland simplex fifth wheels. The latch lever pivot bolt assembly may have been over-tightened which could distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve. Corrosion or contaminates in the pivot may cause it to bind and prevent the fifth wheel jaw from latching securely around the trailer king pin.
Risk: There is a possibility that the fifth wheel may fail to latch without the driver's knowledge. When this occurs, the driver could drive away and the trailer could become disengaged increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Kalyn/siebert is working with saf-holland. Saf-holland will send a repair kit to owners free of charge. The recall began on march 26, 2008. Owners may contact saf-holland at 1-888-396-6501 ext. 4343 or kalyn/siebert at 1-254-865-7235.
