SEMI-TRAILER SUSPENSION EQUALIZE BOLTS SOLD AS AFTERMARKET PARTS BETWEEN AUGUST 28 AND NOVEMBER 9, 2001. THE EQUALIZER BOLT IS A 2″ DIAMETER BOLT APPROXIMATELY 11.5″ LONG THAT HAS A WELDED ON PLATE AT ONE END AND A 2-3/8″ LONG X 1″ THREADED SHANK AT THE OPPOSITE END. THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS IN PRODUCTION THAT CONSTITUTE THIS DEFECT. 1) THE END PLATE ON THE BOLT WAS NOT PROPERLY WELDED TO THE BODY AND MAY DETACH AND 2) THE MATERIAL USED TO PRODUCE THE BOLT WAS NOT CORRECT. THIS WOULD ONLY BE A PROBLEM IF USED AS A PIVOT BOLT FOR A FULL TRAILER.
