The issue

On certain vehicle equipped with Fontaine light weight fixed position fifth wheels, the fifth wheel mounting plate may develop a crack in the area where the legs of the fifth wheel are welded to the base plate.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions dotés d’une sellette d’attelage légère Fontaine à position fixe, des fissures peuvent se développer sur la plaque de montage de la sellette d’attelage, à l’endroit où les pattes de la sellette sont soudées sur la plaque. Il est donc possible que la remorque se détache du véhicule tracteur. Correction : La plaque de base de la sellette d’attelage devra être inspectée et remplacée si on y découvre des fissures.
