Incorrect lubricant was used in the gear box of the inboard style support leg assembly and the gear ratio of the assembly results in diminishing the self-locking aspect of the unit. This causes the assembly to retract in an uncontrolled and unexpected manner.
The risk
The rapid, uncontrolled, and unexpected rotation of thesupport leg can result in injury to the operator of the support leg mechanism.
The remedy
Support legs will be replaced with legs that have the correct lubricant and conventional functions. A warning and operation instruction decal will be placed on the trailer and illustrated operation instructions will be provided.
