    I can’t find a clear answer is a cracked weld on the rear trailer bumper an oos violation?
    I know it won’t pass a dot annual inspection but idk if it’s an iOS violation.

    How long is the crack? Where exactly is the crack? Can it be stop-drilled?
    Pictures?

    Those are welds that can be easily ground off and rewelded. Half hour job at any decent welding shop.

    Yes it is. The under ride (dot bar) has to be structurally sound. A cracked weld is not structurally sound.

    Is it an oos item though, or just a citation? (and I honestly don't know...)

    Which may be a violation but it’s not an OOS violation.
