The risk
Cracks in the axle pads and/or in the chassis tubes around the mounting bolts can occur with very heavy loads on a bad road surface or when hitting a curb with a full load or not in time noticing a traffic island with a full load. If the axle breaks loose, the trailer can drag on the ground and any load can be lost, which can lead to a an accident and cause injury. In the worst case, the shafts could come loose and cause injury. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
