What's wrong?
The shock bolts on 2026-2027 Ember Touring Edition trailers hold the Curt Touring Coil Suspension hardware in place. That suspension uses coil springs and shocks to control trailer movement over bumps, keeping the trailer supported and the tires tracking behind the tow vehicle. The bolts have to be tightened within the right range so the suspension parts stay clamped together without damaging the fastener.
On affected trailers, the issue is incorrect tightening, with over-torqued bolt heads identified as the root cause. When a fastener is tightened beyond the intended range, the bolt head and threads lose the margin they need to hold clamp load. Ember's repair replaces the original Grade 5 fastener with a Grade 8 fastener that has a wider torque range for this suspension application.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not expect a noise, warning light, or visible symptom before a suspension fastener problem shows up.

What's the safety risk?
