I kinda figured this would play out this way when you posted this issue earlier this spring. Any dealer I've ever dealt with does not have the equipment nor personnel to do trailer axle alignments. They will farm it out to an alignment shop due to cost and training of in house personnel. All correct track does is provide an avenue to more precisely align the tracking of trailer axles ... the alignment check will stil have to be made as it was before correct track was invented. You'll be way ahead to just take it to a reputable trailer alignment shop. They'll know what the eccentrics in the correct track are for. Correct Track does not adjust camber it only adjusts tracking of one axle to onother and to the frame itself. The axle will still need to be bent or replaced if your camber is off.

Trailering since 1970 before my wife was old enough to drink, I have never had to do anything with axle adjustment.. So when the dealer talked about this new feature with our 2015, I thought, so what and forgot about it.

Same here. Would not close a deal for me.

There is presently a recall on the "correct track".

All the correct track does is let sloppy assembly happen and put's the responsibility of axle alignment on the owner.

Isn't that lovely. I like this statement " we want to
bring this to your attention because your continued satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us".

You have twice posted about info on "correct track" ... both times I feel you have gotten legitimate responses ... what answers are you looking for??? Correct track will not fix camber and toe in adjustments on any Fiver or TT ... it will only provide an easier way of adjusting the tracking of the axles to one another and to the frame itself should that dimension be off. Your dealer has no answer because most any dealer farms alignment adjustments out ... it is nationwide and extremely common for a dealer to take this route. I'm not just blowing hot air here ... I am stating fact.
