Product
Light trailer slipper springs Identifying features description D0116 Light trailer slipper spring (used in D0115 assembly) D0108 Light trailer slipper spring (used in D0107 assembly)
Why it was recalled
A small number of springs sold has been found to have brittle minor leaves (last, second last & third last). These can crack and become loose which may cause the U-bolts to come loose.
Hazard
The result of the loose U-bolts can be that the axle becomes loose on that side of the trailer and this may pose a hazard to driver and other road users.
