G&S Chassis, Control Rider TS recall

[Herbertclan]

Hi all, unsure if I have this in the correct area and a search didn't bring this one up.

Not sure who this could effect but looking at the chassis list they have published, there is a real chance someone may need to check their suspension.

Here's a pic from another site of the fault, showing when a weld isn't a weld.

Ouch!! I don't want to imagine what this does to ones long awaited holiday, nor their reg grundys after it broke

I don't think it would be a severe jolt just a slow tearing, if you caught it early enough you could probably weld it up properly, heck there's absolutely no penetration from the first one, the ends are still clear cut.

mmm the weld doesn't look like any heat was used, but, the thickness of the metal looks pretty thin also IMO

Looks like there wasn't enough prep done at the join, but with our seeing it in the flesh I'm simply speculating here! But agree there doesn't look to be any pen in the join.

like a bead of silastic actually.
