(see ea04-032, keystone and ea04-033 pace american).as part of this investigation, odi, on january 21, 2005, initiated a monitoring program at haulmark requiring them to notify odi of all newly reported wheel separations.during this eleven month monitoring period (through december 2005), haulmark states that there have been no new reports of wheel separations from haulmark vehicles since monitoring began in january 2005.accordingly, odi is closing this engineering analysis. the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.the agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances. | ||||||

| I have broken a total of 5 gooseneck trailer hitches due to this trailer being extremely overweight, empty. the last hitch broke in june of 2012. the 2 5/16 ball was pile driven completely through the 1/2 thick mounting plate due to the extreme tongue weight (6880 dry) of the 21,000 lb. plus (dry) trailer. this trailer was a prototype which the manufacturer (haulmark) will not admit to. the original shipping weight on the mso reads 14380 lbs.but in reality, the trailer weighs over 21,000 lbs.dry. this trailer has become loose on the back of the truck several times. the extreme gooseneck weight has kept it from separating from the truck completely. this situation could have killed many innocent people.this is a major safety issue. the manufacturer refuses to admit or help with this problem. i have complete documentation. *tr | |||
