What can happen
Safety consequence
IF THE RELEASE BOLT THAT SECURES THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER TO THE FRAME AT THE DROP DOWN END OF THE CARRIER WERE TO BECOME LOOSE AND FALL OFF, A PORTION OF THE CARRIER ASSEMBLY ITSELF COULD DETACH AND FALL OFF IF THERE IS NO LOCKING PIN. IF THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER WERE TO SEPARATE FROM THE UNIT DURING TRAVEL, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH.
What fixes it
