ABS Remorques is recalling approximately 34 of its 2014-2023 RC, WC, LRC, and LWC semi-trailers because the coupling plate can deteriorate over time. This deterioration can cause the king pin to fail, which may lead to the trailer completely detaching from the towing vehicle while in motion. ABS Remorques authorized service facilities will replace the affected coupling plates free of charge to resolve the safety issue.
If the king pin fails and the trailer detaches, it cannot be controlled and may overturn or block the roadway. This creates a significant risk of a crash for the towing vehicle and other drivers on the road.
