The defect
LGS Industries Inc (LGS) is recalling certain model year 2017 Look, Pace, and Cargo Express cargo trailers manufactured October 24, 2016, to November 8, 2016. Due to insufficient welds, the bracket that attaches the torsion spring cable to the ramp door could detach from the ramp door.
The risk
If the bracket detaches, the door can fall open, creating a crushing hazard or, if the door is completely open, the cable and bracket could act as a projectile, possibly causing personal injury.
