Below is a copy of the overview. The trailer tongues were just a part of the problem. It was noticed that some owners with tongue steel that was 1/8" think were bending upward over a period of time. The fix for that was to replace the tongue steel with 3/16" steel and some added bracing. That was just the fix by WW for that portion of the issue's. Thus the tongue is part of the frame.
Welcome to the Weekend Warrior Trailer Class Settlement Website
Overview
A settlement has been reached in the class action lawsuit about Weekend Warrior Recreational Trailers equipped with frames manufactured by Zieman Manufacturing Co. or its affiliates. The $5.532 million settlement provides repair and/or reimbursement for Class Members with Signature Harm to the trailers, including bent frames, detached siding, and warped forward cargo areas. The settlement also pays Class Members for Qualifying Harm to the towing vehicles used to haul the trailers. Settlement funds are also available to reimburse Class Members who experienced blown tires on their trailers or towing vehicles as a result of excessive trailer weight. In addition, Weekend Warrior will provide free structural reinforcement of the trailer frame for any Class Member who owns a FS 2600, FS 2800, FS 3000, or SuperLite model. Your payment will be based on your qualifying damage.
