| Description of the problem | The frame welds were inadequate and have broken away on the front part of the trailer near the tongue. The center cross member between the tongue is dangling. It is a 2015 shasta 1961 re-issue 16 foot trailer. It is clearly an example of shoddy workmanship, and is definitely a dangerous safety issue. I am not sure when this happened. I only became aware of the problem after other owners of this same model trailer brought the problem to light. This is not the first safety issue with these trailers |
