Defect Description:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I am writing to provide you with an update regarding the unfortunate incident that occurred on May 27th, involving the Kaufman trailer and my truck. On that day, shortly after receiving the plates for the trailer, an accident occurred due to the brakes not functioning properly. As a result, the loaded trailer pushed the truck downhill, causing it to jackknife and collide with the truck. I have emails from the manufacturer informing me that the brakes will not work on there trailers as delivered. The problem is that the brakes have an anti corrosion coating on them that stop the brakes from working.
