The hazard

On certain livestock and horse steel gooseneck trailers, inadequate reinforcement of certain components of the trailer's gooseneck assembly can, over time, lead to failure of the assembly. Failure of the gooseneck while the trailer is being operated could result in separation from the towing vehicle, which could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will install a reinforcement plate to the side of the frame tube and corner brace plate in the front corners of the gooseneck. Also, if needed, an additional cross tube will be added above the coupler assembly.
