The issue
Certain trailers were manufactured with a non-ABS braking system on the front, steerable, axle. The use of conventional (non-ABS) brakes on the front axle could allow a wheel lockup that could in turn lead to jackknifing the trailer. This is particularly a concern when braking hard on a reduced friction surface such as snow or ice. Correction: Dealer will install ABS on the front axle.
