There is a thread both here and The Technical  section that stem from Social Media.

Unfortunately they sometimes perpetuate fraudulent stories.

This is from the Qld Police in Bundaberg refuting the story.

Hopefully it will let people know the truth

Well done Yuglamon for setting the record straight. Honestly, how do these things get started. It's nice that some people wish to alert the rest of us about an issue which we might not have read about, but please guys, get your facts before scaring the daylights out of others. Based on the original post, many van owners would have gone out and purchased replacement shackles completely unnecessarily.

 It would not surprise me,    that the original poster/pamphlet was put out there by a firm wanting to sell Shackles.
