The issue
TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH HUTCHENS 4 FOOT SPREAD SUSPENSIONS MAY HAVE AN AXLE BOTTOM PLATE MADE OF HIGH PHOSPHOROUS CONTENT STEEL THAT COULD FRACTURE. FRACTURE OF ONE OR MORE BOTTOM PLATES ON A SINGLE AXLE COULD ALLOW THE AXLE TO MOVE OUT OF POSITION ALLOWING THE SPRINGS TO DETACH. THIS CONDITION COULD ALLOW THE TIRES TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE TRAILER FRAME POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH HUTCHENS 6 FOOT SPREAD SUSPENSIONS MAY HAVE AN EQUALIZER (ROCKER) BEAM MADE OF SIMILAR HIGH PHOSPHOROUS CONTENT STEEL THAT COULD FRACTURE.
