Issue

Issue: On certain trailers, the kingpin assembly may not be long enough. As a result, the hitch may not lock when the kingpin is inserted in the fifth-wheel saddle. If this happens, and the operator does not check to ensure the hitch is properly locked, the trailer could separate from the tow vehicle. Safety Risk: A fifth-wheel hitch that is not properly locked could allow a trailer to separate from the tow vehicle and create the risk of a crash or an injury. Corrective Action: Fontaine will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your trailer to an Ocean Trailers facility to replace the kingpin assembly.
