What's wrong?
The Towking 12K jack is bolted to the tongue of the 2019 Cummins Power Generation Generator Set trailer. It supports and raises the trailer tongue when the trailer is parked, positioned, or connected to a tow vehicle. The handle gives the operator the mechanical control needed to move the jack foot up or down.
On affected trailers, the handle sleeve was fastened with a standard nut instead of the specified nylon locking nut. That nut can loosen as the trailer is used. Once it backs off, the bolt sleeve slips out of position, the handle separates from the jack assembly, and the jack foot drops toward the pavement.
There is no warning sign before failure for the operator unless a field technician spots a loose nut during inspection. A loose or missing nut at the jack handle is the visible clue that the handle attachment is not secure.
