Default Al-Ko Trailer Tongue failure

Just checked my trailer year 2011 and the same cross bolt was sheared
at the nut. The bolt was still in but the nut was gone and you could
see the shear plane. and yes the trailer is towed with a motor
home.


Were there any threads on the bolt in the sheared area?
