## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fifth wheel locking mechanisms could be susceptible to damage and/or wear. This could cause the locking mechanism to fail properly engage, potentially resulting in a towed trailer unit separating from the truck tractor. As a result, the trailer could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing injury and/or damage to property.  Correction:  Fontaine dealers will replace all Ultra LT fifth wheel units with Ultra NT model fifth wheel units.
