## NHTSA's summary

There is a panel connection issue in the upper slope panel to top slope sheet on trailers produced from June 2017 to December 2017. The fasteners used in this connection are not sufficient to carry the weight of the load in this group of trailers. There is a potential of losing fasteners and damaging the panels. The 40' unit will be affected at the front and rear while a 42' unit will only be affected at the front.
