[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1737726, member: 8481"] It is possible. But how do we know? I write my trailer numbers down in a little notepad. I sometimes have 3 or 4 pages full before I tear the full ones out. Looked back and have pulled 5 372xxx trailers in the past 5 weeks. In fact, I had one that, when I hooked to and tugged to make sure the latch was engaged, the trailer came with me. That means no brakes. Took it to the shop and mechanic said someone had backed off the spring brakes all the way. The only reason he said this would be done is if they were locked up or dragging while it was being pulled. The driver who pulled it must have forgot to write it up. The mechanic readjusted them and sent me on my way. He apparently did not know about the recall either. Sounds like the issue in the recall. Luckily it did not catch on fire while I pulled it 150 miles. [/QUOTE]
