Hazard

On semi-trailers equipped with air suspension, certain axles have insufficient torsional strength. During cornering, excessive stress develops on the upper surface of the axle below the spring seat (spring support base mounted on top of the axle), causing cracks to form in the axle. Continued use of the affected axle risks complete failure and loss of mobility.
