Consumer Description

THE AREA OF THE FRAME WHERE THE PIN BOX ATTACHES FAILED. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR SHOP, THE WELDS WERE NOT DONE CORRECTLY WHEN IT WAS MANUFACTURED. MULTIPLE AREAS OF POOR WELD PENETRATION WERE EVIDENT IN THE FRAME FAILURE AREA, AND THE RESULTING FAILURE ALLOWED THE HITCH TO DISCONNECT FROM 75% OF ONE FRAME RAIL AND ABOUT 50% OF THE REMAINING FRAME RAIL. AN INTERNET SEARCH HAS REVEALED MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF SIMILAR FAILURE OF LIPPERT COMPONENTS FRAMES USED BY VARIOUS MANUFACTURES. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR SHOP THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL IN 1999 ON CARRIAGE 5TH WHEEL TRAILERS.
