Truck towbar cracks normal wear - Road Transport Association

The Road Transport Association is downplaying the problem of cracked truck towbars, comparing it to a lawnmower wearing out. Cracks that could cause crashes have been found in the towbars and connections of some of the largest truck-trailers on the road. The Road Transport Association is a trucking industry group and RNZ reporter Phil Pennington asked their chief executive Dennis Robertson just how many cases of cracked towbars and connectors had been found.
