Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A trailer made by Schmitz Cargobull may have a weak joint that holds a metal plate. If the joint breaks, bolts can loosen and the trailer may come off the truck.

What's happening? Some trailers in Germany, Poland, and Slovenia have this problem. The joint might let go while driving.

Does this affect me? If you drive or ride near these trailers, you could get hurt. Owners in these countries should check their trailer.

What should I do? Stop using the trailer right away. Ask a mechanic or your dealer for help. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unsafe.
