Defective Equipment: Some Common Examples

Trucking companies have a duty to keep accurate maintenance logs and inspection records of their vehicles. If they do not inspect their trucks regularly, the likelihood of equipment malfunction increases significantly. Some common instances of defective equipment include:

  • Brake failure
  • Tire failure
  • Steering wheel failure
  • Engine failure
  • Suspension problems
  • Poor wheel alignment
  • Improper trailer attachment
  • Improperly restrained loads
  • Overloaded trucks
