InfoCons Consumer Protection Alert : VALKAI – Trailer

VALKAI – Trailer

Name: V11 flatbed trailer

Category: 10

Date: 2025-05-23

Product Category: Motor vehicles

Risk Type: Injuries

Danger: The trailer has an incorrect tyre-wheel size combination, increasing the risk of puncture. Punctures and the trailer’s incorrect shape types, weights and centre of gravity can lead to a loss of traction. Moreover, the coupling can be overloaded, increasing the risk of trailer detachment. Additionally, rear underrun may not be applied or sharp parts can be extending backwards. Furthermore, some axles are undersized and mass data is uncertified. This can lead the axle/suspension part(s) to break under load. Finally, incorrectly applied weights can cause ineffective brake performance. Each previous defect increases the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
